Summary  
Demonstrates how to use a dictionary’s popitem() method to remove and return its last inserted key-value pair.

General domain of usage  
Data processing

Dictionaries also have a `popitem()` method that removes and returns the last key-value pair. 

book = {
    "title": "Pride and Prejudice",
    "author": "Jane Austen",
    "year": 1813,
    "genre": "Romance"
}

# Removing the last key-value pair using popitem()
popped_item = book.popitem()

# Printing the updated dictionary and the removed pair
print("Removed item:", popped_item)
print("Updated dictionary:", book)
