thanks on the help. I am now stuck on this program for quizzing on state
capitals. Do you mind taking a look please? I can’t get it to tell me the
answer is incorrect it just keeps asking me for capitals whether the answer is
right or wrong. It also is not giving me correct counts for correct and
incorrect answers. Any help would be appreciated. Not sure if i turned HTML. my
laptop is fairly new and I’m still assimilating to iOS. Please let me know if
the code is hard to read.
Thanks

Write a program that creates a dictionary containing the U.S. States as keys
and their
capitals as values.
(Use the internet to get a list of the states and their capitals.)
The program should then randomly quiz the user by displaying the name of a
state and asking
the usr to enter that state's capital.
The program should keep a count of the number of correct and incorrect
responses.
(As an alternative to the US states, the program can use the names of countries
and
their capitals.)"""
