name = ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Cathy', 'Dan', 'Ed', 'Frank', 'Gary', 'Helen', 'Irene', 'Jack', 'Kelly', 'Larry']
age = [20, 21, 18, 18, 19, 20, 20, 19, 19, 19, 22, 19]
dic={}
def combine_lists(name,age):
    for i in range(len(name)):
        dic[name[i]]= age[i]
combine_lists(name,age)
print dic

def people(age):
    people=lambda age: [name for name in dic if dic[name]==age]

people(20)




this is the code i have so far(with the help of the first post ;p). i understand how a function and a dictionary works and what I'm asked to find. but i don't get the lambda age part. and this code doesn't give me any result
