Help. Regarding dictionary Get function.

Question

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.

Answer 1

True == 1

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

Answer 2

keys must be unique.

2 is unique
3 is unique
1 is not unique: 1 == True

Answer 3

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
