What are some real-world uses of nested structures in Python?

Nested structures in Python, like lists and dictionaries, are used for organizing complex data. For example, you can use a list of dictionaries to represent a collection of records, such as students with their details.

Can you give me an example of how to implement that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

students = [
    {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 20, 'major': 'Computer Science'},
    {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 22, 'major': 'Mathematics'},
]

This creates a list of student records, each represented as a dictionary.

How would I access a specific student's information?

You can access a specific student's information by indexing the list and then using the key from the dictionary. For example, to get Alice's major:

alice_major = students[0]['major']
print(alice_major)  # Output: Computer Science
