In python, there are multiple ways to add keys or values to dictionary.
You can use assignment operator to add key to dictionary.
# Updates if ‘x’ exists, else adds ‘x’
dic[‘x’]=1
dic[‘x’]=1
There are other ways to add to dictionay as well in python.
dic.update({‘x’:1})
# OR
dic.update(dict(x=1))
# OR
dic.update(x=1)
# OR
dic.update(dict(x=1))
# OR
dic.update(x=1)
Example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
d = {'x':1,'y':2,'z':3} print("Before:",d) d['p']='24' print("After:",d) |
Output:
Before: {‘x’: 1, ‘y’: 2, ‘z’: 3}
After: {‘x’: 1, ‘y’: 2, ‘z’: 3, ‘p’: ’24’}
After: {‘x’: 1, ‘y’: 2, ‘z’: 3, ‘p’: ’24’}

Add multiple keys to dictionary
If you want to add multiple keys in one time, you can use update method.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
d = {'x':1,'y':2,'z':3} print("Before:",d) p = {'a':4,'b':5} d.update(p) print("After:",d) |
Output:
Before: {‘x’: 1, ‘y’: 2, ‘z’: 3}
After: {‘x’: 1, ‘y’: 2, ‘z’: 3, ‘a’: 4, ‘b’: 5}
After: {‘x’: 1, ‘y’: 2, ‘z’: 3, ‘a’: 4, ‘b’: 5}
That’s all about Python add to Dictionary.
