Treehouse TeacherHi! First, you need to create a function called splitsville that takes an address parameter. You have the start of your function, but it should look something like this:
def splitsville(address):
# code
The address being passed into your function will look like the example: '100 E Main St, Anywhereville, Oregon, 22222'
Inside of the function, you need to take this address and split it up into its parts using .split(). Resource
# split example
>>> "I love Dogs".split(" ")
["I", "love", "Dogs"]
>>> "Cheese, Tatertots, Milk".split(", ")
["Cheese", "Tatertots", "Milk"]
Then turn those parts into a dictionary and return it. Resource
