Values not storing in dictonary

[rtbr17]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

def make_album(arist_name, album_title, album_tracks= ""):     """Album and arist"""     album = {         'name' : 'arist_name',         'album_name' : 'album_title',         'tracks' : 'album_tracks',         }     return album   print(make_album('Billy Joel', 'River of Dreams'))   info = make_album('Jimmy Johnson', 'How about them Cowboy\'s') print(info)   info = make_album('Janet Jackson', 'Nasty Boy\'s') print(info)   info = make_album('Rolling Stones', 'High Roller', '13') print(info)

It is supposed to store the values in the dictionary and then print them. Here is the output I get.

Output:
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}
{'name': 'arist_name', 'album_name': 'album_title', 'tracks': 'album_tracks'}

You need to take the quotes off the values you are setting. Anything in quotes is a string literal. To access the value of the variable you need to remove the quotes.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

def make_album(arist_name, album_title, album_tracks= ""):     """Album and arist"""     album = {         'name' : arist_name,         'album_name' : album_title,         'tracks' : album_tracks,         }     return album

Note that artist should have two t's.
