python dict add or update key code example

Example 1: python3 add dictionary to dictionary

dict_1 = {"1":"a", "2":"b", "3":"c"}
dict_2 = {"4":"d", "5":"e", "6":"f"}

dict_1.update(dict_2) 
print(dict_1)
#Output = {"1":"a", "2":"b", "3":"c", "4":"d", "5":"e", "6":"f"}

Example 2: python how to add a new key to a dictionary

# Basic syntax:
dictionary['new_key'] = value

# Example:
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 5} # Define dictionary
d['c'] = 37 # Add a new key to the dictionary
print(d)
--> {'a': 1, 'b': 5, 'c': 37}

Example 3: python dictoinary add value

student_scores = {'Simon': 45  }
print(student_scores)
# {'Simon': 45}
student_scores['Sara'] = 63
print(student_scores)
# {'Simon': 45, 'Sara': 63}

Example 4: append to dictionary python

# Append to Dictionary in Python

# Let's say we had the following dictionary:

languages = {'#1': "Python", "#2": "Javascript", "#3": "HTML"}

# There are two ways to add a key-and-value set to this dictionary

# Number 1: By .update() method

languages.update({"#4": "C#"}) # Adds a #4 key-and-value set

#--------------------------------------------

# Number 2: The define-key method

# This is the easier one

languages['#4'] = 'C#'

# ^^ Just updates a key of #4 to C#, or adds it in this case
