Edward Marais , here is a link to a sample tutorial from the community section that demonstrates the use of dictionary.get() https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK/2451/?ref=app

You can use the get method on the dictionary.

Edward Marais The get method is specifically FOR dictionaries in this instance. You provide the key between the parenthesis and then it will return the value that's associated with said key.

will the get method work if the data in the file is stored as a dictionary? #please note the file just has: word_meaning = { "house":"place that a entity lives in", "wood":"comes from a tree" }
