Chapter 8 / Level 1: Creating a dictionary

Teaching Objective:

• Student learns dictionary syntax
• Learns common use for dictionaries
• Understands how Dictionaries are different from lists

Guide

To complete the level walk through the field and grab all the fruit, those being “Apples” , “Oranges” and “Pears” . Store these in a dictionary named bag, with the index being the name of the fruit and the value being how many you’ve grabbed.

bag = {}
bag["Apples"] = 3
bag["Oranges"] = 4
bag["Pears"] = 6

Once you’ve grabbed the fruits and put them inside the dictionary, walk to the X mark and use the speak function to count all the different fruits you’ve grabbed and their quantities.

player.speak(bag)
