How to update value of a key in dictionary in c#?

c#, c#-4.0, dictionary, key-value

Solution

Have you tried just

dictionary["cat"] = 5;

:)

Update

dictionary["cat"] = 5+2;
dictionary["cat"] = dictionary["cat"]+2;
dictionary["cat"] += 2;

Beware of non-existing keys :)

Problem

I have the following code in c# , basically it's a simple dictionary with some keys and their values. ``` Dictionary<string, int> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, int>(); dictionary.Add("cat", 2); dictionary.Add("dog", 1); dictionary.Add("llama", 0); dictionary.Add("iguana", -1); ``` I want to update the key 'cat' with new value 5. How could I do this?
