Fetching key value in dictionary! Why in dictionary keys 1 and True are same

pairs = {1: "apple", "orange": [2, 3, 4], True: False, 2: "True", } print(pairs.get("orange")) print(pairs.get(7)) print(pairs.get(1)) print(pairs.get(2)) Why third print is not fetching key value "apple" While fourth p is getting output

So I learned that if dictionary contains 1 and True as key then it will work as 1== True Else dictionary containing only 1 as key fetches it's value

The dictionary contains 1 and True. As True equals 1 as key, True: False over writes 1: "apple". That's why get(1) returns False.

Zahed Shaikh True means 1 so True == 1 will return True Actually you are doing pairs.get(1) = pairs.get(True)
