Add `get(key[, default])` method #197

Closed cjwcommuny closed 2 years ago

cjwcommuny commented 2 years ago

Add the get(key[, default]) method for sorted container like dict in Python.

Here is the doc copied from Python standard library:

get(key[, default])

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default. If default is not given, it defaults to None, so that this method never raises a [KeyError].

It’s there already.

cjwcommuny commented 2 years ago

SortedDict has already implemented get(key[, default]). But can we add this method to SortedSet?

grantjenks commented 2 years ago

Sets don’t typically work that way in Python.

Use inheritance to extend the data types as needed.
