<span>Now, that works fine.</span>
<span>But, how will the code execute in Strict Mode?</span>
<span>One way to find out is to transfer our code to a (<a href="../js/scripts/strict-objects.js" title="Click To Review the Original Javascript file" target="_blank">.js</a>) page and invoke Strict Mode at the top of the program.</span>

Example usage
api_url = “https://api.example.com/teams” # Replace with the actual API URL team_name = “Los Angeles Lakers” # Replace with the team name you want to search for
nickname = search_team_nickname(api_url, team_name) if nickname: print(f”The nickname of {team_name} is: {nickname}”) else: print(f”Unable to find the nickname for {team_name}.”)
In this example, you need to replace “https://api.example.com/teams” with the actual URL of the API you want to use. Additionally, make sure the API endpoint supports searching for team nicknames using a query parameter like team_name.
