In Python, you can add a key-value pair to a dictionary (also known as an object) using the square brackets notation or the update() method.
Example:
This file contains bidirectional Unicode text that may be interpreted or compiled differently than what appears below. To review, open the file in an editor that reveals hidden Unicode characters.

| # Using square brackets | |
| my_dict = {"a": 1, "b": 2} | |
| my_dict["c"] = 3 | |
| print(my_dict) | |
| # Output: {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3} | |
| # Using update() method | |
| my_dict = {"a": 1, "b": 2} | |
| my_dict.update({"c": 3}) | |
| print(my_dict) | |
| # Output: {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3} |
Note that if the key already exists in the dictionary, the value will be updated with the new value
