How to create a dictionary using dict?

Question

Data types

I have two variables: x = 'one', y = 1
I want to create a dictionary with key x and value y using the dict class. Other methods are of no interest.
Logically, I write the following:

x, y = 'one', 1
my_dict = dict(x, y)

Writes an error: "TypeError: dict expected at most 1 arguments, got 2"

Answer 1

dict() expects an Iterable, i.e. something like this should work:

x, y = 'one', 1
my_dict = dict([(x, y),])
