Another option: car = { 'brand':'BMW', 'year': 2018, 'color': 'red', 'mileage': 15000 } print(car[input()])

You can also write: if a in car.keys(): print(car[a]) You can also use a.lower() instead of a, as all the keys in the dictionary is lower case and if by mistake somebody puts a uppercase letter in the input, a.lower() will convert it into lower case.
