Merging Dictionaries (Python 3.5 and Higher)

• Method: Use the unpacking operator (**)
• Syntax:

  sales = {**sales1, **sales2}  
  

• This feature was introduced in Python 3.5.
• It allows for quick merging of dictionaries in a single line.
• Recommendation: Read the Python 3.5 documentation for more details.

Merging Dictionaries (Python Versions Lower than 3.5)

• Method: Use the copy() and update() methods.
• Syntax:

  sales = sales1.copy()  
  sales.update(sales2)  
  

• This method is for users who are on older versions of Python.
