How to insert one dict into another?

Question

I have a dict a = {'zgd': 0, 'zjd: 748'} and another dict b = {'jds': 748, 'jdl': 100}

How can I combine b into a with another key, 'gzbx', like:

{'zgd': 0, 'zjd': 748, 'gzbx': {'jds': 748, 'jdl': 100}}?

I'd like the simplest Python code to complete it.

Have you looked into using the update method in the dictionary class? Here is an example usage: https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_dictionary_update.asp — tschmitz, Jul 26 '23 at 04:01
@tschmitz You don't need the `update` method for what the OP wants. A simple assignment to the specified key will do. — blhsing, Jul 26 '23 at 04:07

a['gzbx'] = b

Here's a link to python's documentation, which should be helpful for basic syntax.
