[Tutor] Dictionary Issue

[Ltc Hotspot]

Alan,

I want to find the max val ,  keys and values are defined on line 10:
for kee, val in count.items():

Then,  maxval determines the max value on line 11:
if val > maxval:

right, view a copy of the revised code at
http://tinyurl.com/nvzdw8k

Question1: are these assumptions true, above?

Question2: dict maps strings into keys and values?


Hal
