Also that finds the square of a number too: num=input('Enter a number to calculate it's square: ') square=num**2 print(square)

In Python, the order in a dictionary is NEVER guaranteed, so you can never be sure it will appear where you expect it to.

Dictionaries are unrodered collections. So the ordre is not important and it is not guaranted where the elements appear in your dictionary.
