Still in the groups from last class (online students do remainder of assignment), using the dictionary application you created, add two new menu items: ➤ Save the dictionary - write a function to pickle the dictionary to a file ➤ Retrieve the dictionary - write a function to retrieve the pickled dictionary that was saved earlier ➤ Put both functions in a separate module that is imported by your main program Turn in your programs/modules to the practice assignment link in course content.
using Python. Practice 9-2 continue to practice 9-1 and I will write the birthday dictionary because I couldn't take a pic of it
birthday dictionary code
# This program uses a dictionary to keep friends'
# names and birthdays.
# Global constants for menu choices
LOOK_UP = 1
ADD = 2
CHANGE = 3
DELETE = 4
QUIT = 5
# main function
def main():
# Create an empty dictionary.
birthdays = {}
# Initialize a variable for the user's choice.
choice = 0
while choice != QUIT:
# Get the user's menu choice.
choice = get_menu_choice()
# Process the choice.
if choice == LOOK_UP:
look_up(birthdays)
elif choice == ADD:
add(birthdays)
elif choice == CHANGE:
change(birthdays)
elif choice == DELETE:
delete(birthdays)

# and gets a validated choice from the user.
