Python OrderedDict is a dict subclass that remembers the order in which its items were inserted. When we iterate over an OrderedDict, the items will be returned in the order they were inserted, not in some arbitrary order.

The main features of OrderedDict are:

• Unlike regular dictionaries, an OrderedDict remembers the order in which items were inserted.
• When iterating through an OrderedDict, the items are returned in the order they were inserted.

1. Write a Python program that creates an OrderedDict and adds some items. Print the OrderedDict contents.

5. Write a Python program to create an OrderedDict with the following key-value pairs:
'Laptop': 40
'Desktop': 45
'Mobile': 35
'Charger': 25
Now move the 'Desktop' key to the end of the dictionary and print the updated contents.

6. Write a Python program to create an OrderedDict with the following key-value pairs:
'Laptop': 40
'Desktop': 45
'Mobile': 35
'Charger': 25
Now remove the first key-value pair and print the updated OrderedDict.
