Dictionaries are used to store data values in key:value pairs Nested Dictionaries

Dictionary Methods Set in Python

Set is the collection of the unordered items.

_ _init_ _ Function Methods

Constructor Methods are functions that belong to objects.
All classes have a function called __init__(), which is always executed when the object is being
initiated. #creating class #creating object

*The self parameter is a reference to the current
instance of the class, and is used to access variables
that belongs to the class.

Let‘s Practice Static Methods
