Data structures are used to represent data in a meaningful way. They provide a way to store and organize data in memory. This section covers the different types of data structures and their applications.

Dictionary is a built-in data structure that allows you to associate keys with corresponding values. It is similar to a hash table or hash map in other programming languages. Dictionaries are particularly useful when you need to store and retrieve data quickly based on some unique identifier (the key).
