# Counts of each type of request
request_type_counts = {}

Great! Use dictionary to save type and count number.

# Counts of each type of request
request_type_counts = {}

# Reviews each separate request and takes note of type
for request in service_requests:
    request_type = request.get('Request Type') 

Effective! Use get function.

[hzhou715]

The get() method returns the value of the item with the specified key.

[hzhou715]

# Reviews each separate request and takes note of type
for request in service_requests:
    request_type = request.get('Request Type') 
    
# If request type exists, add one (1) count; if not, then it starts at zero
    if request_type:
        request_type_counts[request_type] = request_type_counts.get(request_type, 0) + 1

I googled the meaning of get(a,0). The get() method is used to retrieve the value associated with a specified key in a dictionary. If the key is not found, it returns a default value, 0.

[hzhou715]

    city = request.get('City') 
    
# If listed city exists, add one (1) count; if not, then it starts at zero
    if city:
       city_counts[city] = city_counts.get(city, 0) + 1

# Print Final Results
print("City Counts:", city_counts)

Easily understandable!

- Every time a new request is identified, add it to the new dictionary.
- After all requests are reviewed, print results. 

- Create new dictionary to store count for each listed city.
- Review all of the requests.
- Every time a new city is identified, add it to the new dictionary.
- After all requests are reviewed, print results. 

Clear and effective

[hzhou715]

The pseudocode is logic and easily understandable. The code mainly uses get() function to retrieve the value associated with a specified key in a dictionary. It is effective and sleek. I learned the get() function from the code. Great work. Thanks!
