Python Data Structures: Dictionaries, Strings, and Functions
Python Data Structures Fundamentals
Dictionaries: Key-Value Storage
A Python dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs used to store data in an unordered, mutable structure. You create a dictionary using curly braces {} with key-value pairs, for example: my_dict = {"name": "Alice", "age": 25}. You can also use the dict() constructor to create dictionaries.
Accessing values is done by referring to their keys: my_dict["name"] returns “Alice”.

Flip-Flops: Basic Sequential Data Storage
A Flip-Flop is a basic sequential circuit used to store one bit of data (0 or 1). Unlike combinational circuits, the output of a flip-flop depends on:
- Present input
- Previous output (memory)
- Clock signal
Flip-flops are the building blocks of registers, counters, and memory units.
1. RS (Set-Reset) Flip-Flop
The RS flip-flop has two inputs: S (Set) and R (Reset).
Working Principle
- S = 1 → Output is set to 1
- R = 1 → Output is reset to 0
- S = R = 0 → No change
- S =
