Dictionaries
• Dictionaries are used to store data values in
key : value pairs.
• A dictionary is a collection which is ordered, changeable
and does not allow duplicates.
• Creating a dictionary is as simple as placing items inside curly braces {}
separated by commas.
• An item has a key and a corresponding value that is expressed as a pair
(key: value).
