Step #1: learn about modules
Step #3: Review the state capitals quizzer
Review a useful script synthesizes a number of useful concepts that we've covered.
- Download the script state_capitals.py and save it to your Desktop. Be sure to save it as a
.py
file. - Open the script in your text editor.
- 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?
