Overview

This is a review assignment where you will use multiple tools you have picked up so far throughout the course. If you're confused about how to do something make sure you look back at earlier assignments.

In this program you will start by declaring an empty dictionary named population$\_$dict. Then you will use a while$-$loop to prompt a user for a series of cities and their populations, storing the input in population$\_$dict. After this you will prompt the user to decide what is the maximum population for a city to be considers a small down. Finally, you will open a file called populationdata.txt where you will write the results.
