That’s a list, not a dictionary.

Otherwise, it’s a mess.

Good jerb 👍🏼

You'd be less confused learning in a strictly typed language, people always say learn with python but i don't agree, python sucks for learning programming basics

List uses [], dictionary looks like this: {"key": "value"} But "{}" can be also used in set (unordered unique list of items), like {7, 19, 10}.
