Returns the value for the given key
or null if key
is not in the map.
Some maps allows keys to have null
as a value,
For those maps, a lookup using this operator does cannot be used to
distinguish between a key not being in the map, and the key having a null
value.
Methods like containsKey
or putIfAbsent
can be use if the distinction
is important.
