I would like to know why the C part of my dictionary when I update it =
from the 2nd one goes before B.

>>> x =3D "A"
>>> y =3D "1"
>>> dict=3D{}
>>> dict2 =3D {x:y}
>>> dict.update(dict2)
>>> dict
{'A': '1'}
>>> x =3D "B"
>>> y =3D "2"
>>> dict2 =3D {x:y}
>>> dict.update(dict2)
>>> dict
{'A': '1', 'B': '2'}
>>> x =3D "C"
>>> y =3D "3"
>>> dict2 =3D {x:y}
>>> dict.update(dict2)
>>> dict
{'A': '1', 'C': '3', 'B': '2'}

Thanks,
Cameron Stoner=20
