Retrieving values from a dictionary based on specific keys allows you to access the corresponding values stored in the dictionary. In this blog post, we will explore different methods to retrieve values from a dictionary using keys in Python.

Method 1: Using the square bracket notation

# Method 1: Using the square bracket notation
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
name = my_dict["name"]
print("Name:", name)

Output:

Name: John

Method 2: Using the get() method

# Method 2: Using the get() method
my_dict = {"name": "John", "age": 30, "city": "New York"}
age = my_dict.get("age")
print("Age:", age)

Output:

Age: 30
