In this exercise you will practice looking up geographic identifiers for major cities. The Census classifies cities and other municipalities as "places". You will find place codes using the Geographic Codes Lookup at the Missouri Census Data Center

The variables to request are place names and total population.

The requests library has been imported and the base_url for the request is already set to request SF1 data for 2010.

Set the "for" predicate to request the two place codes you found for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, separated by a comma
