The inbuilt **```items()``` method** in Python is used to return a *view object*, which contains the *key-value* pairs of a *dictionary*. These key-value pairs will be returned as tuples in a list.

A **view-object** gives a dynamic view of the dictionary. Whenever the dictionary is altered, the view-object will mirror those alterations.

#  Syntax

``` python

## Parameter

This method does not require any parameters.

postcodes = {'griffith':2603, 'belconnen':2617, 'phillip':2606}
x = postcodes.items()

print(x)

#This example represents how the returned 
#view object is dynamic 

postcodes = {'griffith':2603, 'belconnen':2617, 'phillip':2606}
x = postcodes.items()

postcodes.update({'civic': 2601})

print(x)
