Add Key-Value Pairs (Solution)

00:00 To add a key-value pair to your dictionary, use the square bracket notation. If you want to add Enterprise as a key and Picard as the value, you write captains and then an opening square bracket, and then inside of quotes, the name of the ship, which is Enterprise in this case.

00:23 Then a quote to close the string, and the closing square bracket equals the string Picard. Once you press enter, you can check the captains dictionary that you created in one of the former lessons.

00:40 It still is a dictionary, but now it contains the key-value pair Enterprise and Picard. Let’s do this for the other ships and captains.

00:52 So you write captains and then square brackets. Voyager equals Janeway

00:59 and captains. Square brackets Defiant equals Sisko.

01:07 And if you check the captains dictionary now, you can see that the dictionary now has three key-value pairs: Enterprise, Picard, Voyager, Janeway, and Defiant, Sisko, which you entered one item at a time.
