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.
Is it possible to pass parameters with an HTTP get request? If so, how should I then do it? I have found an HTTP post requst (link). In that example the string postData is sent to a webserver. I wo...
The get/set pattern provides a structure that allows logic to be added during the setting ('set') or retrieval ('get') of a property instance of an instantiated class, which can be useful when some instantiation logic is required for the property.
However, if/when your data structure gets more complex, http GET and without JSON, your programming and ability to recognise the data gets very difficult. Therefore,unless you could keep your data structure simple, I urge you adopt a data transfer framework. If your requests are browser based, the industry usual practice is JSON.
So, I've come up with a simpler script that returns all the GET parameters in a single object. You should call it just once, assign the result to a variable and then, at any point in the future, get any value you want from that variable using the appropriate key.
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) without throwing an exception, while it is super trivial to avoid exceptions accessing list elements (as the len method is very fast). The .get method allows you to query the value ...
