Python | Dictionary

A dictionary is an associative array (also known as hashes).

Any key of the dictionary is associated with a value. The value of a dictionary

can be any Python data type. So dictionaries are unordered key-value.

A dictionary is a collection that is unordered, changeable, and indexed.

In python, the dictionary is written with curly brackets and they have keys

and values.

Dictionaries are mutable, which means they can be changed.

Example: x = ['rohit',20['chichore']]

Why we use Dictionaries?

Because of the limitation of lists, lists are not enough to represent real-world data.
