You can use a Dictionary to keep track of the keys and values   For instance     dictOfStuff        Make a Dictionary  x    Buffalo    OR it can equal the input of something  up to you   dictOfStuff x    4   Get the dict spot that has the same key   name   as what X is equal to  In this case  Buffalo   and set it to 4  Or you can set it to  what ever you like  print dictOfStuff x     print out the value of the spot in the dict that same key   name   as the dictionary    A dictionary is very similar to a real life dictionary  You have a word and you have a definition  You can look up the word and get the definition  So in this case  you have the word  Buffalo  and it s definition is 4  It can work with any other word and definition  Just make sure you put them into the dictionary first
