Parameters
Parameter | Details |
---|
key | The desired key to lookup |
value | The value to set or return |
Helpful items to remember when creating a dictionary:
- Every key must be unique (otherwise it will be overridden)
- Every key must be hashable (can use the
hash
function to hash it; otherwise TypeError
will be thrown)
- There is no particular order for the keys.
