1,518 PointsYo need to take out the value of the dictionarie
You can do this with the following code:
student = {'name':'','topic':'python'}
topic = student['topic']
This is because in lists you take out the objects by the number they are placed in the list but in dictionaries you take out the objects by the keys each value correspond.
I hope this helps!

key in the student
dictionary".
So you won't need to create another dictionary, just reference the one already there and access the value by using "topic" as the index.
