Dictionary data type - definition

Dictionaries are data structures that store data in such a way that it can be looked up by value, rather than by index/position/reference.

These types of data sets naturally lend themselves to a structure that partitions data based on its sort value, as in a binary tree. This allows operations to happen faster, because the lookup key itself guides the process of finding the corresponding data in the data structure.
