Challenge: Creating Logging Function

Task

Swipe to start coding

You've been provided with a dictionary named people_d that holds data in the format: 'name': (age, height). Create a function named people_information that accepts two parameters:

d (intended to be a dictionary).
name (intended to be a key within the dictionary).

This function should display the following details (based on the data format in people_d):

For example, given the name 'Alex', the output should read:
