# Dictionaries of Dictionaries (of Dictionaries)

# The next several questions concern the data structure below for keeping
# track of Udacity's courses (where all of the values are strings):

#    { <hexamester>, { <class>: { <property>: <value>, ... },
#                                     ... },
#      ... }

# For example,

# For the following questions, you will find the

# construct useful. This loops through the key values in the Dictionary. For

# [Double Gold Star] Define a procedure, involved(courses, person), that takes 
# as input a courses structure and a person and returns a Dictionary that 
# describes all the courses the person is involved in.  A person is involved 
# in a course if they are a value for any property for the course.  The output 
# Dictionary should have hexamesters as its keys, and each value should be a 
# list of courses that are offered that hexamester (the courses in the list 
# can be in any order).
