How to add pairs to a dict?

[Anthony Liu]

I want to keep adding pairs my phone_book dict like
so:

phone_book={'jack':2313, 'john':3436}

And then each time when a new pair is created, for
example, 'tom':5678, I want to add it to the dict so
that the dict becomes

phone_book={'jack':2313, 'john':3436}

I assume you want

phone_book['tom'] = 5678

which leaves phone_book as

{'jack':2313, 'john':3436, 'tom':5678}
