#validate takes a dictionary, a username, and a password
def validate(usersDict, username, password):
   if username in usersDict.keys():       #Find the given username in the dictionary
       if usersDict[username] == password:   #compare the given password with the one that belongs to that username
           return True                    #Return true if password is correct
   return False                            #false if password is wrong for that username

#Create a dictionary called users containing the data given in above table
usersDict = {'User1': '101010', 'User2' : '112121', 'User3' : '211211', 'User4' : '312132'}
