Instructions

In the Scholars’ Lab, each employee has a title. We can store that information in a dictionary.

Example

slab_staff = { 'Zoe_LeBlanc':'DH_Developer' ,
 'Jeremy_Boggs':'Head_RnD', 'Brandon_Walsh' :'Head_GradPrograms' }

We can print out each person’s title by using either bracket notation

print(slab_staff['Zoe_LeBlanc'])

or dot notation.

print(slab_staff.Zoe_LeBlanc)

Try this

1. Try creating a dictionary with all your fellow praxis student names and departments.
2. Then try using bracket or dot notation to print out their department.
