## Overview
The **`_.get()` method** in Lodash retrieves the object's value at a specific path.

If the value is not present at the object's specific path, it will be resolved as `undefined`. This method will return the default value if specified in such a case.


## Syntax
``` text
_.get(object, path, defaultValue)
```

## Parameters
This method accepts the following parameters:

* **`object`**: The object in which the given path will be queried.
* **`path`**: The path used to retrieve the value from the object.
* **`defaultValue`**: The default value that will be returned for resolved values that are undefined.


## Return value
This method will return the value at the specified path if found. Otherwise, it will return the default value if specified.

## Example
Let's look at an example of the `_.get()` method in the code snippet below:

// object that will be queried
const object = {
    'name': 'Shubham Singh Kshatriya',
    'designation': 'Software Enginner',
    'education': {
        'school': {
            'name': 'St. Stephens School',
            'yop': 2017
        },
        'college': {
            'name': 'SVIT',
            'yop': 2021
        }
    }
}

// path to retrieve value
const collegeYopPath = 'education.college.yop'
console.log(_.get(object, collegeYopPath, 'default value'));

// falsy path to retrieve value
const falsyPath = 'education.college.passingYear'
console.log(_.get(object, falsyPath, 'default value'));

## Explanation

In the HTML tab:
- **Line 5**: We import the `lodash` script.

In the JavaScript tab:

* **Lines 2 to 15**: We create an object to perform a query.
- **Line 18**: We define a variable `collegeYopPath` to get the value.
* **Lines 19**: We use the `_.get()` method and pass the `object`, `collegeYopPath`, and a default value as parameters.
- **Line 22**: We define a variable `falsyPath` to get the value.
* **Lines 23**: We use the `_.get()` method and pass the `object`, `falsyPath` and a `default value` as parameters.


## Output

- The `_.get()` method at **line 19** contains a valid path, and therefore the expression is resolved, and `2021` is printed on the console.
- The `_.get()` method at **Line 23** contains an invalid path, and therefore the expression is resolved as `undefined`.


What is the _.get() method in Lodash?

Retrieves object values at a path, and defaults to specified value if undefined.
