Output explanation
#1
I am unable to understand the output of this program. Can someone explain it to me?
stuff=dict()
print(stuff.get('candy',-1))

stuff is a ductionary. dict is a data structure with key:values pairs. dict has .get(key, [default]) method. in this case get will look up for key 'candy' and will return respective value, but if there is no key 'candy' (as in this case) it will return the default value, which in this case is -1
