ChainMap Mutate in Python

PythonStandard Library (Collections)ChainMapintermediate

What this snippet does

Mutations in a ChainMap only affect the first dictionary in the chain, not the one where the key was found.

Expected output

{'b': 2}

Why practise typing this

Typing standard library (collections) code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
