Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The following is a Python program that creates a menu as requestes. The menu allows the user to choose to display list, sort list, update list, and/or exit. A starting list of three states has been added. The menu is on a while loop that keeps asking the user for an option until exit is chosen. A sample output is shown in the attached picture below.

states = {'NJ': ['Trenton', 8.882, 'Common blue violet'], 'Florida':['Tallahassee', 21.48, 'Orange blossom'], 'California': ['Sacramento', 39.51, 'California Poppy']}

while True:

answer = input('Menu: \\1: display list\\2: Sort list\\3: update list\\4: Exit')

print(type(answer))

if answer == '1':

for x in states:

print(x, states[x])

elif answer == '2':

sortList = sorted(states)

sorted_states = {}

for state in sortList:

sorted_states[state] = states[state]

states.clear()

states = sorted_states

sorted_states = {}

elif answer == '3':

state = input('Enter State: ')

capital = input('Enter Capital: ')

population = input('Enter population: ')

flower = input('Enter State Flower: ')

states[state] = [capital, population, flower]

else:

break
