Dictionary states
The dictionary states maps state abbreviations such as AZ and CA to dictionaries with information
about states of the United States. The three items in those dictionaries are:
"name": the name of the state (e.g. “Arizona”, or “California”)"capital": the capital city of that state (e.g. “Sacramento”)"largest": the largest city in that state (e.g. “Los Angeles”)"baseball": the names of the major league professional baseball teams in that state, if any.
The dictionary states only has information about five western states.
On the back of this handout is another example of one of these dictionaries, with information on
a few eastern states.
