#### 7. What is the `dict()` data structure in Python ? <br>
122+
It is best to think of a dictionary as a __set of key: value pairs__, with the requirement that the __keys are unique (within one dictionary)__. <br>
123+
A pair of braces creates an empty dictionary. Something like this <br>
124+
`empty_dic = {}` <br>
125+
Placing a comma-separated list of key:value pairs within the braces adds initial key:value pairs to the dictionary <br>
126+
`student = {'name': "Narendra", 'class': "Junior", 'dob': "2002-01-03"}` <br>
127+
Dictionaries are sometimes found in other languages as __associative memories__ or __associative arrays__. <br>
128+
Unlike sequences, which are indexed by a range of numbers, dictionaries are indexed by __keys__, which can be any __immutable type__ <br>
129+
`strings` and `numbers` can always be keys
