It wouldn't be the end of the chapter if you didn't have some practice exercises, not worth it. Let's see what I got on deck for you.

Here we are in our GitHub repo if we go over to practices. CH07 data structure we scroll down and see what we got.

Now, here's the sort of standard introduction we've gone through that a few times I won't it again. The core concepts I'm throwing out here
0:20
for you are creating static dictionaries and dynamic dictionaries as you can see here. We can even use some cool what
0:28
are called dictionary comprehensions. We didn't talk about those yet but they're very, very neat and you can play with them.
0:34
As well as reading values from a dictionary. So here's the deal. What you going to do in this exercise is you're going to create a dictionary
0:42
Don't care how you do it, you can create it empty and then add items to it. You can create it as a literal static dictionary.
0:48
All sorts of options are on the table here. But if you create some dictionary and call it D then this code below, you paste that code below it
0:58
you run it, it should do things like output seven when you ask for sum as your output Rock paper scissors
1:04
when you ask for roles, none for Sarah, and so on. So if you can get this output to match then you've created the right dictionary. Have fun.
