But what if in our examples we pass as country argument some inappropriate name or name which does not exist in our dictionary? Let's predict it with some conditional statements!

countries_dict["Brazil"] = (8515767, 212559417)
countries_dict["India"] = (3166391, 1380004385)

# modify our function

  if name not in d.keys():
    print("There is no information about", name)
  else:
    print("Country:", name)
    print("Area:", d[name][0], 'sq km')
    print("Population:", round(d[name][1]/1000000, 2), 'mln')

Modify your previous function (name new as people_information_mod) so now it will detect if the name is in the dictionary. If not, print "There is no information about name"
