Function Details: update

Description

Updates the dictionary with the key/value pairs from other, overwriting existing keys.

Extended Description

The update() method updates the dictionary with elements from another dictionary or an iterable of key/value pairs. If a key from the other dictionary already exists in the current dictionary, its value is overwritten. If a key doesn't exist, a new key-value pair is added. This method modifies the dictionary in place and doesn't return a value. It can also accept keyword arguments for adding new key-value pairs.
