Answer

Create an empty dictionary contains two approaches.

First approach:

# Using curly brackets {}
my_dict = {}  # Creating an empty dictionary using curly brackets

Explanation:

  • Using curly brackets {}: This method is straightforward, where you simply assign an empty set of curly brackets to the variable my_dict.
  • This notation indicates an empty dictionary in Python.

Second approach:

#Using dict() constructor
my_dict = dict()  # Creating an empty dictionary using dict() constructor

Explanation:

  • Using dict() constructor: The dict() constructor is another way to create an empty dictionary.
  • By calling dict() without any arguments, it creates a new empty dictionary and assigns it to the variable my_dict.
