Good evening,
As you may have noticed i am really struggling with functions and dictionaries.
I need to figure out why this program is allowing me to continue entering
incorrect data instead of telling me my answer is incorrect. also at the end
it’s not tallying the incorrect/correct responses properly. please any help
would be appreciated.
Write a program that creates a dictionary containing the U.S. States as keys
and their
capitals as values.
(Use the internet to get a list of the states and their capitals.)
The program should then randomly quiz the user by displaying the name of a
state and asking
the usr to enter that state's capital.
The program should keep a count of the number of correct and incorrect
responses.
(As an alternative to the US states, the program can use the names of countries
and
their capitals.)"""
import pickle
def main():
right = 0
wrong = 0
capitals = {'Alabama': 'Montgomery', 'Alaska': 'Juneau', \
\
"Arizona": 'Phoenix', \
\
'Arkansas': 'Little Rock', 'California': 'Sacramento', \
\
'Colorado': 'Denver', \
\
