1.> soup('a') is not referring to a dictionary, but it's actually filtering and extracting all <a> tags from the parsed HTML, returning a ResultSet (a list-like object).
2.> The code tags = soup('a') assigns this list of Tag objects to the variable tags.
3.> When you print tags, it displays the representation of the ResultSet, which may look like a list.
Your understanding is correct: the square brackets indicate a list-like structure, but the actual content inside those brackets is a collection of Tag objects, not dictionary keys or values.
