You don't need the \
Inside {} you can put newlines as much as you like:


                  'Arkansas': 'Little Rock', 'California': 'Sacramento',
                  'Colorado': 'Denver',      'Connecticut': 'Hartford',
                  'Delaware': 'Dover',       'Florida': 'Tallahassee',
etc...

This loop just keeps reading the inputs but does nothing with them.
I suspect you intended to have the following lines inside the loop?

You need to provide a mechanism for exiting the loop.
The break statement can do that for you.
