In the advanced code, we will make a system to allow us to write our entire song as a string and program the Rover to read the music by itself.

### Basics of Music:
When it comes to reading sheet music for this task, we will be using two pieces of information from each note. The tone of the note and how long the note is played. The diagrams for music theory and the example song have been added underneath, but for further information on reading music, head over to ‘Activity: Making Music (Beginner)’.

## Code:
We will switch to the text code editor for the intermediate and advanced music activities as some of the following functions are easier to build in that editor. Unfortunately the block editor cannot be used for this code as we will be using python dictionaries which are incompatible with blocks.
**Constant - **A constant is a variable that never changes when the code is run. In python, we write this in all capitals with underscores between words.

**Lists/Arrays - **A list is an object that can contain many variables inside it. Lists can be looped through to access each of the elements. Head to ‘Activity: Making Music (Intermediate)’ to learn more about lists.

**Dictionaries -** A dictionary is an object that can access multiple variables like a list. The difference is that dictionaries have ‘keys’ assigned to each value instead of numbered indexes like a list. As seen below, dictionaries are written using curly brackets, with a key and value paired together using a colon. Both the key and value can be anything as long as all keys are unique.

Just like accessing list values, enter the key into the square brackets after the dictionary, and it will return the value assigned to that key. For further info on using dictionaries, we recommend visiting the guide to dictionaries by W3Schools:
