python get value from dictionary
dict = {'color': 'blue', 'shape': 'square', 'perimeter':20}

# The get() method on dicts
# and its "default" argument
name_for_userid = {

'''When "get()" is called it checks if the given key exists in the dict.
If it does exist, the value for that key is returned.
If it does not exist then the value of the default argument is returned instead.
