How to Add Values to Dictionary of List in Python

A built-in data structure in Python called a dictionary holds things in a key-value manner. It resembles a list or an array, but instead of utilizing an index number to retrieve the objects, it uses a key. 

A list is a pre-built data structure in Python that is used to hold an ordered collection of things. These items, such as numbers, strings, or other objects, can be of any type. You can add a value to a dictionary from a list in Python by using the following methods:” 

• Using a for loop: Iterate through the list and add each item to the dictionary using the dictionary's “update()” method. 
• update(): In Python, the update() method is a built-in method of the dictionary data structure that allows you to add, update, or remove items from a dictionary. 
• Using the dict() constructor: Pass the list of items as a key-value pair to the “dict()” constructor. 
• dict(): Python’s dict() constructor is used to create a new dictionary. 
• Using a list comprehension: Create a new list of key-value pairs, then pass it to the dict() constructor.
