Question

Python

- Create/Initialize a dictionary with 5 state/capital pairs of your choosing. The state is the key and the capital is the value (e.g. “Kansas”:”Topeka”). Only one statement is needed to do this.

- Then prompt the user for a state.

e.g. The output

Enter a state, and I will display the capital.

State: Colorado

Colorado's capital is Denver.

- If that state exists in the dictionary, display the capital, else display "I'm sorry, but I still need to record " followed by the state entered.

e.g. the output

Enter a state, and I will display the capital.

State: Nebraska

I'm sorry, but I still need to record Nebraska.

- Modify the else to also include the ability to add the state and capital to the dictionary.

e.g. the output

Enter a state, and I will display the capital.

State: Nebraska

I'm sorry, but I still need to record Nebraska.

What is Nebraska's capital? Lincoln

The recorded states and capitals thus far are:

{'Kansas': 'Topeka', 'Iowa': 'Des Moines', 'Michigan': 'Lansing', 'California': 'Sacramento', 'Colorado': 'Denver', 'Nebraska': 'Lincoln'}
