Building a small database

Part 4 introduced the structures needed here. This section does not introduce another data structure. Instead, it combines familiar dictionaries in a small application.

The student database uses one dictionary for lookup by student name and another for lookup by course name. Its shape is therefore student name -> course name -> grade. As the program grows, pay attention to the complete nested data shape and to which function is responsible for each change.
