What is the basic syntax to access Python Dictionary Elements?

You can access a dictionary value to a variable in Python using the access operator [].

 example

my_dict = {
   'foo': 42,'bar': 12.5
}
new_var = my_dict['foo']
print(new_var)

Output

This will give the output −

42

You can also access the value using the get method on the dictionary. 

example

my_dict = {
   'foo': 42,'bar': 12.5
}
new_var = my_dict.get('foo')
print(new_var)

Output

This will give the output −

42
