# Exercise 2.2 - Solution
There is no official solution for this exercise--you need rely on your
current Python knowledge. However, there are a few tips that can
help.
- For problems where you need to determine uniqueness, use a set. Sets aren't allowed to
have duplicates.
- If you need to tabulate data, consider using a dictionary that maps keys to a numeric
count. For example, to count rides on each bus route, you could make a dictionary that
maps the route name to the total ride count for that route. A `Counter` object from
`collections` is perfect for this task.
- If you need to keep data in order or sort data, store it in a list.
- You can make Python data structures out of almost anything. For
example, dictionaries of sets, nested dictionaries, etc. You might
need to do this to answer questions 3 and 4.
