## Overview

Dictionaries and sets are data structures in Julia. **Data structures** help us store data into computer memory in an organized way.

Dictionaries and sets have the below characteristics:

* Dictionaries are organized in key-value pairs. Sets are not.
* Keyword for a Dictionary is `Dict()` while set is `Set()`.
* Dictionaries and sets are both mutable. This means we can always alter, change, or delete the values specified.
* They are both unordered. This means that values do not maintain the order in which they are specified. So, an item can appear last even if it was specified first.

## Dictionaries
### Syntax


```
Dictionary_name[key_name => value_name]
or
Dictionary_name[:key_name => value_name]
```

### How to create a dictionary
 The code below shows how to create a dictionary:


# Creating a dictionary
# The keys can either be strings or integers
data = Dict("a" => 1, "b" => 2, 1 => "Hello")
println(data)

data_2  = Dict(1 => 1, "ben" => 10)
println(data_2)

data_3 = Dict(:a => 1, :b => "one")
println(data_3)

### Accessing elements in a dictionary

We can access elements in a dictionary using keys or using the `get()` method as shown:

data = Dict("a" => 1, "b" => 2, 1 => "Hello")
#println(data)
println(data["a"])
println(data[1])

data_2  = Dict(1 => 1, "ben" => 10)
#print(data_2)
println(data_2["ben"])

data_3 = Dict(:a => 1, :b => "one")
println(data_3[:b])



### Using `get()` method

The syntax is as below:
```
get(Dictionary_name, Key_name, Default Value)
```

data_3 = Dict("a" => 1, "b" => 2, 1 => "Hello")

println(get(data_3, "a", 0))

println(get(data_3,1,0))

Keys and values can be accessed in a similar way to the codes above.

The general syntax is:
```
Keys = keys(Dictionary_name)
Values = values(Dictionary_name)
```

## Sets

### Syntax

Below is the syntax for creating a set:
```
Setname = Set([Value1, Value2,....]) 
```

### Creating and accessing elements of a set

#creating a set with integers only
Set1 = Set([1,2,3])
println(Set1)
# Creating a set with different datatypes
Set3 = Set([1, 2, 3, "Tom", "Chair"])
println(Set3)

#Accessing the elements
#Using a for loop
for i in Set1
    println(i)
end

>**Note**: Similar to the `get()` method in dictionaries, Julia has many methods used in dictionaries and sets. These methods help to add, delete, and manipulate the data further.
