What is the difference between getitem and setitem?

[lukasmiller3]

A:getitem enables indexing and slicing (e.g., obj[key]), while setitem enables item assignment (e.g., obj[key] = value). Together, they make objects behave like sequences or mappings, enabling dictionary-like or list-like access patterns.
