[Dictionary Return Values] #python

snippets.py

# It allows you to provide a default value if the key is missing:

dictionary.get("bogus", default_value)
# returns default_value (whatever you choose it to be), whereas

dictionary["bogus"]
# would raise a KeyError.
# If omitted, default_value is None, such that

dictionary.get("bogus")  # <-- No default specified -- defaults to None
# returns None just like

dictionary.get("bogus", None)
# would.
