d={} d[1]=10 d[2]=20 d[3]=30 print(d) or: d={} for i in range(1,4): d[i]=i*10 print(d) or: d=dict((i,i*10) for i in range(1,4)) print(d)

the range was just an example the nice thing about python dictionary is that the key-value pair is added if the key does not exists already if key does exists, then the value of it will be updated d={} # create new empty dictionary d["hello"]="world" print(d) {"hello": "world"} d["foo"]="bar" print(d) {"hello": "world", "foo": "bar"} d["hello"]=42 # updates value of key "hello" print(d) {"hello": 42, "foo": "bar"}

that not gonna work dictionary works by assigning value to a key dic={} dic[0]=10 # this create a key-value pair in the dictionary where the key is whatever inside the [ ] and the value is on the right side of =
