Dictionary Exercises

Dictionaries are much like lists. They store collections. However, you can only index into them. This is because they are mapping types. They let you map from keys to values.

# two ways to create
euclid = {}
euclid = dict()

euclid['name'] = "Euclid"
euclid['age'] = 2
euclid['species'] = "Bunny"

Using the example above, create a dictionary for a pet or a family member. The “keys” can be whatever you want. The keys I used were ‘name’, ‘age’, and ‘species’.

You can then print out the information:

print("Euclid's age is {}".format(euclid['age']))
