Sometimes in Python instead using a classical if-else statement (which surely works well also), it is a good idea use some built-in Python methods and functions which makes your Python code even more professional. This #PythonTrick allows you manipulate with Python dictionaries even easily by keeping in mind that dictionaries is one of the most used data structures in Python.
Basically, dictionaries in Python are used to store data values in key:value pairs.
dict.get() is one of the mostly used method for dictionaries.
In this Python tutorial, I demonstrate how to improve your code with Dictionary Get functionality, which replaces if and else statement. In other words, you can replace multiple lines of codes with just one line of code which natively comes from Python programming language.
You can read additional resources on Python dict.get method in the following resources:
1. W3Schoolds: w3schools.com/python/ref_dictionary_get.asp
2. StackOverflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/11041405/why-dict-getkey-instead-of-dictkey
3. Official Python documentation: python-reference.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/dict/get.html
I hope this Python lesson will be useful either for advanced users, and beginners.
