chatbot_mainloop()

this is my code
i cant append my data from python to json using dict. the issue is in 6th line from the bottom

in chatbot_mainloop
data_base[“questions”].append({“question”: userinput, “answer”: new_answer})
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘append’

this is the error that my vscode terminal gave me

i was watching a youtube tutorial. i used the source code as well but the source code gave the same error
