Intro to Programming with Python - Tutorial 8 - Exercise

In the 8th tutorial in the introduction to programming with python series we introduced for loops.
The video tutorial can be found here:

The exercise for this tutorial is to make the previous exercise, for tutorial 7, more flexible.
For this exercise:

• Initialize an empty grades dictionary variable.
• Prompt the user for the number of students in the class. 
• Convert the number of students to an integer
• Use a for loop to allow the user to enter each student name and grade and add them to the grades dictionary.
• When finished print the grades dictionary back to the user in a more user friendly manner than what we did for the last exercise (See sample program output below)

Here is a sample output of running the program:

Here is the program itself for your reference:

	# Ask the user how many students they have in their class
	numOfStudents = int(input('How many students do you have in your class? '))
	# Create an empty grades dictionary
	grades = {}
	# Here is our for loop.
	# Remember using the range(numOfStudents)
	# we will execute the loop that many times
	for index in range(numOfStudents):
	name = input('Enter student name: ')
	# Read the mark and conver it to an int
	mark = int(input('Enter student mark: '))
	# Add the name -> mark key value pair to the grades dictionary
	grades[name] = mark
	# Now pretty print
	print('Your class grades are as follows: ')
	for name in grades:
	print(' ', name, '-->', grades[name])
