Week-3:Exercise-How many
Consider the following sequence of expressions:

animals = { 'a': ['aardvark'], 'b': ['baboon'], 'c': ['coati']}

animals['d'] = ['donkey']
animals['d'].append('dog')
animals['d'].append('dingo')
We want to write some simple procedures that work on dictionaries to return information.

First, write a procedure, called how_many, which returns the sum of the number of values associated with a dictionary. For example:

>>> print(how_many(animals))
6
'''
#code
def how_many(aDict):
    '''
    aDict: A dictionary, where all the values are lists.

    returns: int, how many values are in the dictionary.
    '''
    # Your Code Here
    #aDict = {'a' : ['ant'], 'b' : ['ball'], 'c': ['cat'], 'd' : ['doll'], 'e' : ['egg']}
    count = 0
    for i in aDict.keys():
        count += len(aDict[i])
    return count
