# create a mapping of state to abbreviation
states = {
‘Oregon‘: ‘OR‘,
‘Florida‘: ‘FL‘,
‘California‘: ‘CA‘,
‘New York‘: ‘NY‘,
‘Michigan‘: ‘MI‘ }
# create a basic set of states and some cities in them
cities = {
‘CA‘: ‘San Francisco‘,
‘MI‘: ‘Detroit‘,
‘FL‘: ‘Jacksonville‘ }
# add some more cities
cities[‘NY‘] = ‘New York‘
cities[‘OR‘] = ‘Portland‘

print ‘-‘ * 10
print "NY State has: ", cities[‘NY‘]
print "OR State has: ", cities[‘OR‘]
# print some states
print ‘-‘ * 10
print "Michigan‘s abbreviation is: ", states[‘Michigan‘]
print "Florida‘s abbreviation is: ", states[‘Florida‘]

print ‘-‘ * 10
print "Michigan has: ", cities[states[‘Michigan‘]]
print "Florida has: ", cities[states[‘Florida‘]]
# print every state abbreviat
