Adding Items to a Dictionary: Updating Key-Value Pairs

Glissez pour afficher le menu

Dictionaries are dynamic, meaning you can add, update, or remove items after the dictionary has been created. Let's explore how to add new items to a dictionary.

Start with creating a dictionary called book with some initial details:

12
book = {"title": "Pride and Prejudice", "author": "Jane Austen", "year": 1813} print(book)

To make our dictionary more complete, we can add a new key-value pair to it. For example, we might want to add the genre of the book:

1234
book = {"title": "Pride and Prejudice", "author": "Jane Austen", "year": 1813} book["genre"] = "Romance" print(book)

After adding the new key-value pair, the dictionary now includes:

Updating an Existing Key-Value Pair

If you need to update the value of an existing key, you can do so by reassigning a new value to that key. For example, let's assume the book's publication year was corrected to 1815:

1234
book = {"title": "Pride and Prejudice", "author": "Jane Austen", "year": 1813, "genre": "Romance"} book["year"] = 1815 print(book)

Note

Single ' ' and double " " quotes in Python are interchangeable and equivalent.
