# 22. Dictionaries In Python
"""
# To determine if a specified key is present in a dictionary use the in keyword.
# To determine how many items (key-value pairs) a dictionary has, use the len() method.
# Adding an item to the dictionary is done by using a new index key and assigning a value to it.
# The pop() method removes the item with the specified key name.
# The popitem() method removes the last inserted item.
# The del keyword removes the item with the specified key name.
