liste.get(something, else) if "something" is inside the list, you're asking the program to tell you what "something" is, however if it doesn't find "something", it will do whatever you put in the 'else' part. So in this case you're asking it to get [12345], but since it cannot find [12345] in the dictionary, it will print("not in dictionary")

if i got this right, you did not pushed the 12345 value in the dictionary before searching for it, so it is not there
