Answer 3

This worked for me(:

books = {
"Life of Pi": "Adventure Fiction",
"The Three Musketeers": "Historical Adventure",
"Watchmen": "Comics",
"Bird Box": "Horror",
"Harry Potter":"Fantasy Fiction",
"Good Omens": "Comedy"
}

book = input()

#change this part to use the .get() method

if book in books:
print(books.get(book))
else:
print("Not found")

Answer 4

i think since its a dictionary, you could compare input to the dictionary keys instead of the key:value pairs.

if found, you'd need to access the dictionary by using the key and print out its genre value.

When the problem is asking to use the .get() method instead of if/else, I used:

print(books.get(book, "Book not found"))
