11. Merge Two Dictionaries

Normal Program:

dict1 = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
dict2 = {'b': 3, 'c': 4}
merged_dict = dict1.copy()
merged_dict.update(dict2)

print(merged_dict)
## >>> {'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}

One-liner:

merged_dict = {**{'a': 1, 'b': 2}, **{'b': 3, 'c': 4}}
print(merged_dict)

## >>> {'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}

Keep in mind that when merging dictionaries using this approach, the values from the…
