By itself, a Dictionary is of little use; a Dictionary is valuable only when you can access, enumerate, and modify the keys and items within that Dictionary. After you have created a Dictionary, you will probably want to do such things as:

• Determine how many key-item pairs are in that Dictionary.
• Enumerate the keys and/or items within the Dictionary.
• Determine whether or not a specific key exists in the Dictionary.
• Modify the value of a key or an item in the Dictionary.
• Remove key-item pairs from the Dictionary.

All of these tasks can be carried out by using the methods and properties provided by the Script Runtime library.
