Dictionaries (Maps)

Associate key with value
Key & value can be any data type
Easily searchable by key
Store and retrieve data quickly

The program will store a dictionary that associates lines of input with random integers. When a line of input is read, the program will check to see if that line has already been used as a key in the dictionary. If so, it will return the value associated with that key.

If the dictionary does not contain an entry for that key, the program should generate a new random integer and store it in the dictionary, using the input line as the key.
