On the normal sense Dictionary is a book or electrical resource where meanings of words are derived,often providing more information about pronunciation, origin, and usage.
A Dictionary in Python is quite different.Python dictionary can be defined as the mapping of unique keys to values. it is an unordered collection of items or elements. Python dictionary is in pair of a key and value. as in English where a word has a meaning but in python a word here is represented as the key while the meaning of the word is represented as the value. The {} curly brackets is used to construct the dictionary, while the [] square brackets is used to index it.
Keys are quoted as well as values.
Dictionaries are optimized to retrieve values when the key is known.
