How to add pairs to a dict, typo corrected in this one.

[Avik Ghose]

Hi Anthony,
 
If you have a dict called phone_book, when you get a new name_value pair say 'tom' you can do.
 
phone_book['tom'] = 33445511;
 
In order to check for duplicates you can do something like
 
if 'tom' in phone_book.keys():
    #duplicate entry;
else:
    #new entry
Hope that helps.
 



Thanks and regards,
Avik Ghose
