# Description:
#   This file contains python code that creates a dictionary
#   from two lists, and performs some other operations as well.

    # start with an empty dictionary
    naMaj = {}

    # iterate over the INDEXES so we can look at both lists at once
    for i in range(len(names)):
        # naMaj [key] = value
        naMaj[ names[i] ] = major[i]

    # some info about the dictionary
