00:00:01,070 --> 00:00:02,620
- [Instructor] In this
self check exercise,

2
00:00:02,620 --> 00:00:06,790
we'd like you to simply create
a new dictionary named states

3
00:00:06,790 --> 00:00:10,180
and map three state abbreviations

4
00:00:10,180 --> 00:00:12,780
to their corresponding state names.

5
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:15,340
So we're not giving
you specific ones here,

6
00:00:15,340 --> 00:00:16,440
but in my solution,

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,170
I'll specifically map the state codes

8
00:00:19,170 --> 00:00:22,420
for Vermont, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts

9
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:24,470
to their corresponding names.

10
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:26,530
Go ahead and pause the
video to give that a shot

11
00:00:26,530 --> 00:00:28,380
and then come back to see the answer.

12
00:00:34,110 --> 00:00:36,900
Okay, let's go ahead and reveal my answer.

13
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:41,630
As you can see here, we've
listed out three key value pairs.

14
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:43,430
You may be wondering why I bothered

15
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:45,646
to split this across multiple lines.

16
00:00:45,646 --> 00:00:49,220
Again, when we're doing this
for publication in a book,

17
00:00:49,220 --> 00:00:52,100
we have a limited number
of characters wide

18
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:53,410
that we can work with,

19
00:00:53,410 --> 00:00:56,330
so I simply took the version from the book

20
00:00:56,330 --> 00:00:59,940
and pasted it into the
cell that you see here.

21
00:00:59,940 --> 00:01:02,440
But in any case, we have
three key value pairs,

22
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,540
Vermont, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts codes

23
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:08,710
and their corresponding full string names,

24
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:12,380
and if I execute that, I
can then evaluate states

25
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:15,123
and see the contents of my dictionary.
