Question

Exercise: Check Monster Character Exists

Description

In this series of exercises, you will create functions
to create, modify and examine dictionaries that
represent characters in an animated film, and the
cast members who voice the characters. The
keys of the dictionary will be character names.
The values in the dictionary will be voice actor
names.

For this exercise, you will create a function that
checks if a character is already in the dictionary.

Files

• monsterfunctions.py : set of functions to work with monster cast dictionaries.

Function Name

has_character

Parameters

• monsters: a dictionary
• character: a string, the name of a character

Action

Checks if character is a key in monsters.

Return Value

True if character is a key in monsters, otherwise False.

Examples

monsters = create_monster_cast()
monsters = add_cast_member(monsters, "Mike", "William Crystal")
has_character(monsters, "Mike") -> True
has_character(monsters, "Sully") -> False
