How do I get it to print "Not found" if the input isn't there?

Question

data = {
'Singapore': 1,
'Ireland': 6,
'United Kingdom': 7,
'Germany': 27,
'Armenia': 34,
'United States': 17,
'Canada': 9,
'Italy': 74
}
print(data.get(input()))

Answer 1

dictionary.get() accepts a second argument that is returned if the item is not found.
So you can alternatively skip the or and write:

print(data.get(input(), 'Not found'))

Answer 2

print(data.get(input()) or "Not found")

Answer 3

Although not related to your question, besides the "get" method, there are others handy dict methods you may want to know.

yes, with dictionary and get, it's almost like a mini OOP without creating classes... objects are basically dictionaries.
setdefault is a nice nondestructive way to set values. One problem I feel is that it fails quietly. You don't know whether the new value is set or not unless you check.
Since we are in the topic of dictionary, here is a way of creating immutable dictionary in Python I just learned

Does your code show any error message?
Please post your code so we can review it.

Answer 9

contacts = [
('James', 42),
('Amy', 24),
('John', 31),
('Amanda', 63),
('Bob', 18)
]
data=contacts
print(data.get(input())or "Not found")

you now have a list of tuples.
But you're still using a dict method.
modify your code to this:

data=dict(contacts)

Then you have a proper dict...
