#  Overview
The **`first`** property, when used on a `dictionary` instance, returns the first key-value pair of the dictionary.
## Syntax
```swift
dictionary.first
```
##
## Return value
The first entry of a dictionary in a key-value pair is returned.
## Code example


// Create a dictionary
var months = [
  "1" : "One",
  "2" : "Two",
  "3" : "Three",
  "4" : "Four",
  "5" : "Five",
  "6" : "Six",
  "7" : "Seven",
  "8" : "Eight",
  "9" : "Nine"
]

// Display dictionary
print(months)

// Get first entry
print(months.first!)

## Explanation
* **Line 2**: We create a `dictionary` instance called `months`.
* **Line 18**: We fetch the first entry of the dictionary using the `first` property, then print it to the console.
