Get a value from a dictionary through input - Anony - Jan-26-2020
Hi everyone, I'm new here! I have been programming with python for a month and I'm a beginner. Having to make a project for school, I need to know how I can get, from a previously created dictionary, a value associated with a key by entering the key with an input.
I tried using get(), but I don't know how to combine it with input.
Could you help me please? Thank you in advance

assign the input to a name (variable)
use that name as argument in the dict.get() method

dictionary = {"brand": "Ford","model": "Mustang","year": 1964}
x=input("")
dictionary.get(x)If I run it nothing happen![[Image: NM7nWYQ]](https://imgur.com/a/NM7nWYQ)
Damn, I’m an idiot. I forgot print ahahahaha. Now it runs, thanks @buran
RE: Get a value from a dictionary through input - buran - Jan-26-2020
you are not doing anythinh with the value returned from the get() method (i.e. it's just returned and then lost)
either assign it to a name, so that you can use it later, or print it, e.g.
value = dictionary.get(x) # do something, possibly with value print(value) # or simply print(dictionary.get(x))
