Question

Write a program that creates a dictionary containing the U.S. states as keys, and their capitals as values, by reading data from the provided state_capitals.txt file. The program should then randomly quiz the user by displaying the name of a state and asking the user to enter that state’s capital. The program should keep a count of the number of correct and incorrect responses. Answers should not be case sensitive. When the user enters 0, the quiz should stops and report the results.

5. "Illinois": "Springfield", "Indiana": "Indianapolis", "Iowa": "Des Moines",
6. "Kansas": "Topeka", "Kentucky": "Frankfort", "Louisiana": "Baton Rouge",
7. "Maine": "Augusta", "Maryland": "Annapolis", "Massachusetts": "Boston",
8. "Michigan": "Lansing", "Minnesota": "St. Paul", "Mississippi": "Jackson",
9. "Missouri": "Jefferson City", "Montana": "Helena", "Nebraska": "Lincoln",
10. "Nevada": "Carson City", "New Hampshire": "Concord", "New Jersey": "Trenton",
11. "New Mexico": "Santa Fe", "New York": "Albany", "North Carolina": "Raleigh",
12. "North Dakota": "Bismarck", "Ohio": "Columbus", "Oklahoma": "Oklahoma City",
13. "Oregon": "Salem", "Pennsylvania": "Harrisburg", "Rhode Island": "Providence",

16. "Vermont": "Montpelier", "Virginia": "Richmond", "Washington": "Olympia",
17. "West Virginia": "Charleston", "Wisconsin": "Madison", "Wyoming": "Cheyenne"}

# Number of questions to be asked in quiz

# You can change it accordingly

numberOfQuestion = 10

# Number of correct responses by user

# Counter to keep track of number of questions asked

i = 0

# List of the states already asked

list_capitals_asked = []

while i < numberOfQuestion:

i += 1 # Increment i by 1

# Select a state randomly from dictionary

state = random.choice(list(capitals_dict.keys()))

# Check if list already contains this state

# If yes, select another state

# Keep doing that, until a new state is found

while list_capitals_asked.__contains__(state):

# Add state to list

list_capitals_asked.append(state)

# Get capital of state

# Ask user to enter capital of state

# If user answer's matches correct answer

# Increment correctResponse by 1

# Else, Increment incorrectResponse by 1

# Print correct and incorrect responses
