Example:
>>> meals = {}
>>> meals['breakfast'] = 'slimfast'
>>> meals['lunch'] = 'slimfast'
>>> meals['dinner'] = 'something sensible'
>>> meals
{'lunch': 'slimfast', 'breakfast': 'slimfast', 'dinner': 'something sensible'}
>>> meals.pop("breakfast")
'slimfast'
>>> meals
{'lunch': 'slimfast', 'dinner': 'something sensible'}

Hello-
This must be simple, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to
delete an entry from a dictionary. For example,
meals = {}
meals['breakfast'] = 'slimfast'
meals['lunch'] = 'slimfast'
meals['dinner'] = 'something sensible'
How do I eliminate 'lunch' from the dictionary so that I only have
'breakfast' and 'dinner'?
Thanks!
