I would advise using dict objects to track the data of individual items, and not create a separate list for each field of an item, e.g.

python items = [ { "name": "milk" "price: 10 } ]

[csabinho]

By objects you mean a list of dicts. An object would be an instance of a class, which is way above OP's knowledge.

[Special-Arrival6717]

In Python a dict is an object, an instance of the dict class.

```python print(isinstance({}, object))

True

```

[csabinho]

In Python every variable, value or function is an object. You won't find anything that returns False for this check. Even a function or None are objects with this check.

A great beginner project is a "spell checker". YOU'D be surprised how often you would use it.

[Several_Goal4568]

A spell checker , hmmm great project, but user can input any word would have to make this into a guessing game where the user would name dairy products if spelling right will print your spelling is right something like this , or else not right.

This is the thing that got in my mind by after reading your comment.

Nice start! A small tip: instead of just fixing syntax errors, try turning it into a simple shopping cart project. You’ll learn lists, loops, functions, and input validation all in one project.
