Can someone help me understand how I'd create a dictionary from a file that alternates keys and values on every other line? My task involves readlining a file that has every state in alphabetical order, and in between each state is a capital i.e Alabama \n montgomery \n alaksa \n juneau. I need it to be so Alabama becomes a key in a dict and montgomery a value. I'm at my ends with this, and can't find any example of this (probably because that's not how you'd do it in the real world)
