Question

Focus on dictionary methods, use of functions, and good programming style
For this assignment, you will create a glossary (dictionary) of technical terms and definitions. It will be 
set up as a Python dictionary structure. The file glossary_starter.py is a complete starter framework for 
the assignment. It includes some initial values for the dictionary. It is long because most of the code 
has already been written for you.
Your task is to complete the five individual functions for adding and deleting terms, looking up terms, listing 
them, and printing out both the terms and definitions. These functions are all short, just a couple of lines, and 
use basic dictionary methods and techniques. 


Here is some sample output.
