[Tutor] Creating a dictionary

[spawgi at gmail.com]

The first approach does not really give you any variable (in easy form) to
operate upon.
The second approach returns a dict object that you can later reuse in easier
form. So one advantage is certainly that ease of object reuse and also
object modification.
If you want to add, remove, update anything in the dict object, the second
syntax is easier. You can also make it part of a class or module. You can
pass it to a function as well.
