So how do we get values into such a hash?

In short, by adding them as part of key-value pairs. Since hashes are unordered, we need something else to make their values accessible: keys.

See that? We've just added a so-called key-value pair to hash and asked Ruby to display the value that belongs to its key, "name".

Psst: while we can use =>, which to assign a value to a key, that's not the only way to get there.
