Adding Items
Adding an item to the dictionary is done by using a new index key and assigning a value to it:
Example
thisdict = { "brand": "Ford", "model": "Mustang", "year": 1964 } thisdict["color"] = "red" print(thisdict)
Update Dictionary
The update()
method will update the dictionary with the items from a given argument. If the item does not exist, the item will be added.
The argument must be a dictionary, or an iterable object with key:value pairs.
Example
Add a color item to the dictionary by using the update()
method:
thisdict = { "brand": "Ford", "model": "Mustang", "year": 1964 } thisdict.update({"color": "red"})
