I've been reading a book on a programming language, and there's an example of creating a data structure in which the names and programming language corresponding to the name are stored
so it looks like this:
favorite_languages = {
"jen": "C",
"mark": "Ruby",
"denis": "Python",
"adnrew": "C#",
}
And to access the value (programming language) you need to write a key (name of a person in this case).
So if I want to see what's denis's favorite programming language I shall write this
favorite_languages["denis"]
In the book it says
"To use this data structure, given the name of a person who took the poll, you can easily look up their favorite language"
So the core of my question is what does given
mean here?
I can't really comprehend it even using online translator.
