Help! Functions
#4
no need to check the key exists, just use dict.get() method

import json
 
def meaning(word, dictionary):
    return dictionary.get(word, "The word doesn't exist. Please double check it.")

with open("data.json") as f:
    dictionary = json.load(f)
word = input("Enter Word: ")
print(meaning(word, dictionary))
