Modifying Functions in Python
Reconsider the example with the country information. If the provided name parameter isn't found in the dataset, a missing key error will occur. However, this situation can be easily handled by implementing conditional statements.

The dict.keys() method returns a view of all the dictionary keys. It's used here to check if the provided name exists among the keys. The message is more user-friendly and doesn't stop our program.
