Dictionaries in Python

A dictionary is a special type of data storage in the form of key-value pairs.

To create dictionaries, you need to use curly braces. Let's make an empty dictionary:

dct = {}

Now let's set string keys and numeric values:

dct = {
	'a': 1,
	'b': 2,
	'c': 3
}

Given a dictionary:

dct = {}

Add three new elements to it.

Let's say you have numbers 2, 4 and 6. Create a dictionary with these numbers as keys. The values should be the strings 'ab', 'cd', 'ef'.

Create a dictionary with the keys surname, name, age. In the dictionary values, write down your last name, first name, and age.

Create a dictionary with months. Let the keys be the ordinal numbers of the months, and the values be their names.
