python merge dictionaries

dict1 = {'color': 'blue', 'shape': 'square'}
dict2 = {'color': 'red', 'edges': 4}

dict1.update(dict2) #if a key exists in both, it takes the value of the second dict
# dict1 = {'color': 'red', 'shape': 'square', 'edges': 4}
# dict2 is left unchanged

python merge dictionaries

# Python >= 3.5:
def merge_dictionaries(a, b):
   return {**a, **b}
  
# else:
def merge_dictionaries(a, b):
    c = a.copy()   # make a copy of a 
    c.update(b)    # modify keys and values of a with the b ones
    return c

a = { 'x': 1, 'y': 2}
b = { 'y': 3, 'z': 4}

}

b = {

    "b": 3,
    "d": 5
}

# Python 3.5

for key in b:
    if key in a:
        b[key] = b[key] + a[key]

c = {**a, **b}
print(c)

>>> c
{'a': 3, 'b': 5, 'c': 3, 'd': 5}
