Lesson 101: Dictionaries map keys to values

Focus

Anchor one invariant before you branch mentally: Basic drills Dictionaries map keys to values; spin token 861326 makes this page unlike its neighbours.

Key ideas

Angle Basic: micro cadence 1 mixes Dictionaries map keys to values; spin 62002.
Ritual: Annotate every meaningful print before deleting noise.
Guardrail: name the surprise that triggered when literals shifted.

Example (`LESSON_UID = "basic-101"`)

# Basic drill L101 topic-10 micro-0 pattern-11
LESSON_UID = "basic-101"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 347, 466, 805

bucket = dict(seed=0 + spin_a)

def tweak(offset):
    local = bucket["seed"]
    bucket["seed"] = local + offset
    return bucket["seed"]

print(tweak(2), tweak(4), bucket)

Practice

Practice 7: Inject a benign off-by-one, observe drift, revert with notes. Literal nudge 7.
