Merge a dictionary

Question

While merging 2 dicts into one, Why python picks a key(present in both dict) from second dict?

#merge a dict
pl1={'Ronaldo': 8, 'RVP':3}
pl2={'RVP':4,'Messy':8}

allplayers={**pl1,**pl2 }

print(allplayers)

#o/p {'Ronaldo':8, 'RVP':4, 'Messy':8}

Why not RVP:3 in the output?

Answer 1

Because that's what you'd expect to happen. If you update an existing dictionary, older keys are overridden by newer keys. When merging two dictionaries, the keys of the first one are overridden by the second one
