[Tutor] tables and dictionaries

[Julieta Rangel]

Thanks for your suggestion and your program.  As you might remember, I'm new 
at programming, and eventhough I have a good reference book, it is not easy 
to do it all alone.  Sometimes I can read a section from the book until I'm 
blue in the face and still not understand it.  The thing is that I'm a hands 
on learner, so I learn by example, and eventhough the book has examples to 
go along with the explanations, it is still difficult because sometimes the 
examples are not relevant or meaningful to me or might not answer all of my 
questions.  Since I don't have anyone to show me in an example what the book 
is trying to say, it is very difficult for me to learn it.  With the example 
you gave me I learned more than I would have learnt if I had spend an entire 
day reading about nested loops.  Thank you so very much.

Julieta
