You evidently know what .get invoked on a dictionary does, that's what's being called for each key in the dictionary. Here the get method finds a key entry for 'e' and finds its value which is 1. We add this to the other 1 in characters.get (character, 0) + 1 and get 2 as result.
The 'get' lets you treat a class method, as if it were a simple property in an object. If you leave off the 'get', you can still access the value by calling .area () instead of just .area Ajax jquery simple get request asked 14 years ago modified 6 years, 6 months ago viewed 265k times
Feb 5, 2009is it possible to pass parameters with an http get request? In that example the string postdata is sent to a webserver. 11 request.get is the dictionary of the get variables in the http request made to your server for example:
Never use get and use post never use post and use get it doesn't matter which one you use. Ultimately it probably doesn't have a safe .get method because a dict is an associative collection (values are associated with names) where it is inefficient to check if a key is present (and return its value).
