In Python 3.5+, you can use the ** operator to unpack a dictionary and combine multiple dictionaries using the following syntax:
a = {'foo': 125} b = {'bar': "hello"} c = {**a, **b} print(c)
This will give the output:
{'foo': 125, 'bar': 'hello'}
This is not supported in older versions. You can however replace it using the following similar syntax:
a = {'foo': 125} b = {'bar': "hello"} c = dict(a, **b) print(c)
This will give the output:
{'foo': 125, 'bar': 'hello'}
Another thing you can do is using copy and update functions to merge the dictionaries. For example,
def merge_dicts(x, y): z = x.copy() # start with x's keys and values z.update(y) # modify z with y's keys and values return z a = {'foo': 125} b = {'bar': "hello"} c = merge_dicts(a, b) print(c)
This will give the output:
{'foo': 125, 'bar': 'hello'}
