# Python - Add Dictionary Items

# Adding Items
# Adding an item to the dictionary is done by using a new index key and assigning a value to it:

# Example

thisdict = {
  "brand": "Ford",
  "model": "Mustang",
  "year": 1964
}
thisdict["color"] = "red"
print(thisdict)

# Update Dictionary
# The update() method will update the dictionary with the items from a given argument. If the item does not exist, the item will be added.

# The argument must be a dictionary, or an iterable object with key:value pairs.

# Example
# Add a color item to the dictionary by using the update() method:

thisdict = {
  "brand": "Ford",
  "model": "Mustang",
  "year": 1964
}
thisdict.update({"color": "red"})
