[Tutor] Circular approach to a dictionary structure

[Hugo González Monteverde]

Hi,

There may be, but I do not understand what is it exactly what you are 
trying to do.

If you're trying to implement a circular something that goes back to the 
first element after iterating the last one, then I'd think of a list, 
and using some modulus when iterating.

Can you explain more of what you are trying to do?
