Solution

The entry (k, v) is added to the dictionary.

In Python, if the key is not present in the dictionary, the dictionary update dict[k] = v will add a new key-value pair (k, v) to the dictionary. It does not stop with a run-time error, nor does it update a key that is closest to k, and it certainly does not leave the dictionary unchanged.
