Element Assignment—Associates the value given by value with the key given by key. key should not have its value changed while it is in use as a key (a String passed as a key will be duplicated and frozen).

   h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 }
   h["a"] = 9
   h["c"] = 4
   h   #=> {"a"=>9, "b"=>200, "c"=>4}
