How to get all the distinct values in a dictionary

Question

I have a dictionary like this: d = {"name": "john", "surname": "smith", "nickname: "john"}

I want to get all unique values, i.e: ["john", "smith"]

I have see this question which does the same a for list of dictionaries, and I have seen this question which uses values() but it does not return the unique list of values.

This question is marked as duplicate, but the duplicate question does not return **distinct values** — Hooman Bahreini, Sep 09 '20 at 04:34

you can convert the value of a dict to a set to remove the duplicate and pass it back to a list list(set(d.values()))

You can use set

unique = list(set(d.values()))
