Using Python 3.4.3 https://www.python.org/download/

1. Create a dictionary named states that uses two-letter state abbreviations as keys. Each value in the states dictionary should be a list holding both the state name and state capital city. Add at least a dozen states to the dictionary, but feel free to add all 50. See example on page 374. Loop through the entire dictionary showing the state abbreviation, state name, and state capital (see sample output). Then, create a quiz using another loop to ask for state capitals. Use the dictionary to formulate the questions and correct answers. Provide feedback to the user after each quiz question.
