dict1 = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}

# Python 3.9+ using | operator
merged_dict_39 = dict1 | dict2
# Result: {'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}

# Using ** operator (works for all Python 3 versions)

# Result: {'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}

# Using update() method (modifies dict1 in place)

# dict1 is now {'a': 1, 'b': 3, 'c': 4}
