Question

For this lab, write a program that lets the user enter a state and the program returns that state's capital, stored in a dictionary

Requirements:

• Start by hard coding in all of the states and their capitals
• the user should be able to enter the name of a state or ask for all states to be printed (one key/value pair per line)
• If the state is in the dictionary, print its state capital in the form: "The capital of Vermont is Montpelier"
• If the state is not in the list, print out a message saying it is not in the list
• Let the program repeat so the user can look up multiple states

Optional Extra Challenge:

• Also print out the state's abbreviation: Washington is WA, New York is NY, etc.
• Allow the user to add/remove states
