    Just wondering why you are asking?

    Technically - there is no problem with this assignment. There could be some side-effects, but it depends on what's happening in your code before/after that loop.

    Yes, this should be perfectly fine.

    Ideally you should declare a variable, instantiate it and then assign it to a["new_city"]
