Fields in a Row

Download and run the starter code:

• fields_in_a_row.py

What you should see

The program should start by printing out a table header, but crash when asked to print the row for the car dictionary. This is because you need to complete the print_row function.

make    model
----    -----
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 21, in <module>
    print_row(car, fields)
TypeError: print_row() takes 0 positional arguments but 2 were given

What you should do

1. Add parameters to the print_row function. The names and types are shown in the “Args” section of the docstring. Be sure to add type-annotations.

2. In the function, use a loop to iterate through the list of fields and print out each value from the dictionary on one line separated by a tab (\t). You should see:

   make    model
   ----    -----
   Toyota  Prius
   

3. Add 'color' to the list of fields to display. The table should automatically print the color with the underline in the header as well as include the color in the row.

   make    model   color
   ----    -----   -----
   Toyota  Prius   grey
   

4. Add another field to the dictionary called transmission which can be either "manual" or "automatic". Add this to the list of fields to display as well.
