This program uses python like a container it's called dictionary which is in dictionary a key is associated with some information. This program will take a word as input and returns the meaning of that word.

Example:

data = {"mindstick" : "engage in software development and open source for question answer portal."}

// Python3 Code for implementing

// dictionary

// importing json library

```
import json
```

// importing get_close_matches fuction from difflib library

```
from difflib import get_close_matches
```

// loading data

```
data = json.load(open("data.txt"))
```

// defining function meaning

```
def meaning(w):
// converting all the letters of "w" to lower case
```

```
w = w.lower()
```

// checking if "w" is in data \

```
    if w in data:
        return data[w]
```
