Record#
- Today I learned about two-dimensional dictionaries. I had always confused the concept of arrays (lists) and dictionaries.
- Arrays are defined using square brackets and accessed using indexes.
- Dictionaries are defined using curly brackets and accessed using key-value pairs. The values in a dictionary appear in pairs. Both the key and value exist.
- Arrays are suitable for ordered collections of elements, accessed and manipulated using indexes.
- Dictionaries are suitable for unordered collections of key-value pairs, accessed and manipulated using keys.
- Two-dimensional arrays are used to represent two-dimensional data structures, accessed using two indexes.
- Two-dimensional dictionaries are used to represent data with row-column structures, accessed using two keys.
- Data can be added to a dictionary without using append, as long as the keys are different, they will be automatically added.
- Today's exercise is to record and output information about Pokémon pets.
