Project 9 - Due Tue Apr 9 at 23:00
Reading

Tasks
The instructions for each task:

Task 1: Checklist — Define an API to use dictionaries as checklists. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.
- Task 2: Predictive Text — Write a program that uses dictionaries to predict the next word based on a list of words previously typed. For this task, having a partner is optional but recommended.
About this Project
These tasks will give you practice with dictionaries, as well as reviewing material on files.
Both tasks are required.
