Answer 1

Angela ,

you can try it like this:

...
print([name for name in member.keys() if name[0] == 'M'])

or we can use string method startswith():

print([name for name in member.keys() if name.startswith('M')])

Answer 2

I changed the last part of your print statement to:
name >= "M" and name < "N"])

Also, I noticed that the age of Sam is not an integer. Not that it's related to your problem.

Answer 3

oh many thanks. that have i tried at first and not noticed my mistake in the dict.
