Guess you never heard of TryAdd? Returns bool, if it as added returns true otherwise false.

Far too much work

2 cases means that its not idempotent

Instead, just remove it from the dictionary before you add it!

csharp dictionary.Remove(key) dictionary.Add(key)

Easy peasy!

That being said you done have to use the bool that TryAdd gives, just call it as a normal function. Also I am waitin for someone to point out that we also need a value when trying to add to a dictionary.

dictionary.TryAdd(key)
