Brackets vs Get function

Is there a difference in using brackets over the .get function? The output is still the same. Eg: pairs = {1: "apple", "orange": [2, 3, 4], True: False, None: "True", } print(pairs["orange"]) #can be print(pairs.get("orange")) print(pairs.get(7)) print(pairs.get(12345, "not in dictionary"))

get return none when element is not found in dictionary while brackets will raise keyerror if element is not present into dictionary. Run below code to make it clear. pairs = {1: "apple", 'orange': [2, 3, 4], True: False, None: "True", } print(pairs['orange']) print(pairs.get('orange')) print(pairs.get(7)) print(pairs['saga'])
