Python 11

A dictionary in Python is defined using curly brackets with key-value pairs, where keys are unique and immutable, while values can be of any data type. Duplicate keys are not allowed, and if a duplicate is added, the old value is replaced. Dictionaries are mutable, meaning their contents can be changed after creation, and values are accessed using their corresponding keys.
