O'Reilly Introduction to Python/Section 10

Goal #1: review the state capitals quizzer

(Estimated completion time: 5 - 10 minutes)

Download the state capitals quizzer demoed in the video:

• state_capitals.py

1. Download the script and save it to your Desktop. Be sure to save it as a .py file.
2. Open the script in your text editor.
3. Read through the script. Think about these questions:
   • Why do we use a dictionary to store the states and capitals?
   • What is the purpose of the variable i in the for loop?
   • What is the purpose of the input function?
   • Think about one way that you could extend the script to make it more useful. How would you make that change in code?
