9.2.1. Capital Quiz

Instructions

Write a function named get_state_data that loads state capital data from the provided file state_capitals.txt. The function should then return this data as a dictionary with the state names as keys and the state capitals as values. Your program may assume that the state names are unique, but must not assume that the state capital names are unique.

Then write the main function of this program so that it will quiz the user by asking them to enter the capital for a particular state. The states should be asked in a randomized order and the answers should not be case-sensitive. If the user answers correctly, that state should not be asked again, but if the user answers incorrectly, that state should be added to the end of the quiz so that it will be asked again. In this way, states should be asked as many times as necessary for the user to answer correctly. The program ends after all the state capitals have been entered correctly, or the user enters ‘0’. The program should also keep track of the number of correct and incorrect responses, and at the end of the quiz it should report how many questions were answered correctly and how many in total were asked.

Sample Output

Test your program by attempting at least 10 quiz questions. Be sure to include both correct and incorrect responses and a response of ‘0’.

Use the values in Table 9.1 below to test your program.
