Can we predict the order in which it get's printed ?

Answer 1

This is the output order on my system from print(squares) before and after adding and modifying the dict:

{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 'error', 4: 16}
{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 8: 64}

What is your output?

For your information: There is an alternativ way to add or update dicts:

#squares[8] = 64
#squares[3] = 9
squares.update({8: 64, 3: 9})

This allows to pass more than one key:value pair at the same time.

Answer 2

Here is a comparison of python versions:

V2.7:
{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 'error', 4: 16}
{8: 64, 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16}

V3.6:
{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 'error', 4: 16}
{1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16, 8: 64}

If its still an issue for you have a look at
collections.OrderedDict()

Answer 3

You are talking about python? Can you give us a sample please? It would also be interesting which version of python you are using.

Answer 4

squares = {1: 1, 2: 4, 3: "error", 4: 16,}
squares[8] = 64
squares[3] = 9
print(squares)

Answer 5

{8: 64, 1: 1, 2: 4, 3: 9, 4: 16}
this was the answer
