Puneet Kumar , see your code slightly modified, see also the comments. #dictionary d={"mayukh":"9/11/2005", "puneet":"10/11/2005"} # we need to turn your first line into 2 lines word=(input ("enter your word: ")) # inserted a space + : at the end of the string if word in d: # add this to make sure that the input string can be found as a key in the dictionary print(d[word])

You code is incomplete/ the indentation is messed up. Please DO NOT put code in the title section. It gets cut off. LINK your code instead.

Use square brackets to get value by key from dictionary. Wrong : print(d(word)) Correct : print(d[word])

Like Aditya said you can use the square bracket to do it, but if you use the square bracket when it won't find the key, it will return a key error. Instead, you can use the .get() method to get the desired input if the key doesn't exist then it by default returns None instead of a key error. You can also set the default value in the second parameter in the get method(). An example: https://code.sololearn.com/cv790Op6fmcm?ref=app
