Using assignment operator (=)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the simplest ways to add a key-value pair to a dictionary is by using the assignment operator (=). You can assign a value to a specific key, and if the key does not exist in the dictionary, it will be created automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`python<br \/>\nmy_dict = {}<br \/>\nmy_dict[&#8216;name&#8217;] = &#8216;John&#8217;<br \/>\nprint(my_dict)<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>Output:<br \/>\n&#8220;`<br \/>\n{&#8216;name&#8217;: &#8216;John&#8217;}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>The code snippet above creates an empty dictionary `my_dict` and adds a key-value pair where the key is `&#8217;name&#8217;` and the value is `&#8217;John&#8217;`. The `print` statement outputs the dictionary with the newly added key-value pair.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Using_the_update_method\"><\/span>2. Using the update() method<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Python dictionaries have a built-in method called `update()`, which allows you to add multiple key-value pairs to a dictionary at once. The `update()` method takes another dictionary as an argument, and it merges the key-value pairs from that dictionary into the original dictionary.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`python<br \/>\nmy_dict = {&#8216;name&#8217;: &#8216;John&#8217;}<br \/>\nnew_data = {&#8216;age&#8217;: 25, &#8216;city&#8217;: &#8216;New York&#8217;}<\/p>\n<p>my_dict.update(new_data)<br \/>\nprint(my_dict)<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>Output:<br \/>\n&#8220;`<br \/>\n{&#8216;name&#8217;: &#8216;John&#8217;, &#8216;age&#8217;: 25, &#8216;city&#8217;: &#8216;New York&#8217;}<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n<p>In the code snippet above, we start with an existing dictionary `my_dict` containing the key-value pair `&#8217;name&#8217;: &#8216;John&#8217;`. We create another dictionary `new_data` with additional key-value pairs. By using the `update()` method, we add all the key-value pairs from `new_data` into `my_dict`, resulting in a dictionary with the combined data.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_I_add_a_key-value_pair_to_a_dictionary_using_the_subscript_notation_if_the_key_already_exists\"><\/span>1.

How can I check if a specific key already exists in a dictionary?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nYou can use the `in` keyword to check if a key exists in a dictionary.
