The update method

The update method supplements the original dictionary with keys and values ​​of another dictionary. In the method parameter, we specify the dictionary with which we will supplement the original one.

Syntax

dictionary.update(dictionary to supplement the original)

Example

Let's update our dictionary using the update method:

dct1 = { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3 } dct2 = { 'e': 4, 'f': 5 } dct1.update(dct2) print(dct1)

Result of code execution:

{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'e': 4, 'f': 5}
