'del' function for Dictionary

[mayank gupta]

Hi all,

I wanted to know whether there is a more efficient way to delete an entry
from a dictionary (instead of using the 'del' function), because after
analyzing the time taken by the code, it seems to me that the 'del' function
takes most of the time. I might be incorrect as well.
Kindly help me in this regard.

Cheers,
Mayank
