Help. Regarding dictionary Get function.

I can print "apple" if I remove/comment True = False statement. But I don't understand how I get False for "apple" with the True: False statement. pairs = { 3: "Orange", 1: "apple", 2: "Mango", True:False } print(pairs.get(3)) #Result: Orange print(pairs.get(1)) #Result: False ??? print(pairs.get(2)) #Result: Mango Would appreciate an explanation. Thanks.

True == 1 so 1: "apple" gets overwritten with True: False

keys must be unique. 2 is unique 3 is unique 1 is not unique: 1 == True

Keys from dict must be unique, You already have True: False and 1 is equal to True so that s mean your dictionary is like this finally pairs = { 3: "Orange", 2:"Mango", True: False # is the same as 1: False } If you get the value of key 1, you have False
