Hi Guys. I need help solving this. with explanations. I have been on this for over 12 hours and I cant seem to figure it out.
Students = {‘Mary’:[20,45,12], ‘Grace’: [40,78,56],’John’:[61,37,58]}
Write a program that goes through the dictionary/array and displays the name of the student with the highest score

Answer 1

Hello! Could you show the attempt you made by putting it into Code Playground and sharing the link here?

Answer 2

Please check your dictionary keys, when I try it on Code Playground it says the quotes are unrecognizable and triggers error.

Answer 3

Ipang This could be down to Apple's strange default setting where their quotation marks appear as backticks, so when they're copied to the Code Playground they don't work. They do work if typed into the CP directly though.

It used to annoy the hell out of me until I found how to stop it.

I wasn't aware of it as I'm on Android, in that case I suppose there is no problem

Thanks for the heads up 👍
