Merging dictionaries allows you to combine the key-value pairs from multiple dictionaries into a single dictionary. In this blog post, we will explore different methods to merge two dictionaries in Python.

Method 1: Using the update() Method

# Method 1: Using the update() Method
dict1 = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
dict2 = {"city": "New York", "country": "USA"}
dict1.update(dict2)
print("Merged dictionary:", dict1)

Output:

Merged dictionary: {‘name’: ‘John’, ‘age’: 30, ‘city’: ‘New York’, ‘country’: ‘USA’}

Method 2: Using the Double Asterisk (**) Operator

# Method 2: Using the Double Asterisk (**) Operator
dict1 = {"name": "John", "age": 30}
dict2 = {"city": "New York", "country": "USA"}
merged_dict = {**dict1, **dict2}
print("Merged dictionary:", merged_dict)

Output:

Merged dictionary: {‘name’: ‘John’, ‘age’: 30, ‘city’: ‘New York’, ‘country’: ‘USA’}
