Safely Extract Values from a Dictionary

Safely extract and print the value for a given key from the dictionary. If the key does not exist, return the default value. For example, if the key does not exist, the output should be Not Registered.

def get_value(d, k, default):

    return d.get(k, 
)


d = {"name": "John Doe", "age": 30}

print(get_value(d, "job", "Not Registered"))
