Treehouse Moderator 68,426 PointsThere are two errors to fix:
- The names of the keys must be immutable and hashable objects. Strings work well. In your code,
name
andtopic
are variable names that are not defined. Enclose them in quotes to create the strings"name"
and"topic"
- The
key
is not needed. Thedict
is implied by the curly brackets { }
Post back if you need more help. Good Luck!!
