Leveraging attributes on namedtuples
Once you have a namedtuple, you can write more expressive code that is easier to understand. Remember,
you can access the elements in the tuple by their name as an attribute. For example, you can access the
species of the namedtuples in the previous exercise using the .species
attribute.
Here, you'll use the tuples you made in the previous exercise to see how this works.
