Create a dictionary with the following key value pairs: 1) key: 'name', value: '', 2) key: 'topic', value: 'python'.

Assign the dictionary to a variable called student after creating the dictionary

creating_dictionaries.py 
key{'name':'value','topic':'python'}
key=student

You may have misread the instructions, the "value" part of the first pair is just an empty string :point_right: ''

Also, the syntax for the assignment is variable name, then operator, then dictionary definition:

student = { 'name':'', 'topic':'python' }
