Agreed; these are not small questions at all.  Natasha, if you're having
trouble, please be more specific about what you're getting stuck on. Don't
just give us homework questions to work on, because that gives us very
little information on what in particular you're having problems with.

As it is, it looks like each question assumes that you're familiar with
loops, dictionaries, strings, and File I/O.  That's a tall order; we can't
just explain all of that, because we'd end up just regurgitating whatever
book or tutorial you're already using, and that's no good to you!

So try to show us more of what you've tried;  that'll help us see where
you need help, and we can be more targetted in what we try to explain.
