Dictionaries In Python

Dictionaries In Python

You may have seen something that resembles dictionaries in languages like Java or JavaScript through their implementation of this same kind of structure, the HashMap (Java) and Map (JavaScript).

Dictionaries (also known as dict) are data structures based on key, value pairs, i.e, each element is indexed with a another, immutable type of data.

myDict = { "first": 1, ("first", "last"): 2 }
