A dictionary is another type of container in Python, like lists and tuples, but this one has elements in pairs, these are called items, each key is separated from it’s value by a colon, each item is separated by commas and the dictionary is enclosed with {}.

To update a specific item in the dictionary, you type the name of the dictionary, after that the name of the item inside brackets and (”), then equaling this to the value you want to update it to.

The same goes for adding another item to the list, follows the same process and syntaxes.
