Something that can be a little confusing at first (and I haven't seen anybody mention it yet, so I thought I'd chime in) is that you can assign multiple variables at the same time.  It can be a little jarring if you aren't used to it.  So far you've probably only run into single assignments:  x=5, dog=cat, etc.
In contrast, this line runs a command that returns two values, and assigns those values to two variables called "put" and "get". 
If you weren't aware that multiple assignments were possible (and that this is what they look like), then this is a very confusing line of code indeed.

Also - no offense to whoever put up the code you're learning from, but those variable names were poorly chosen!  Since you're just starting out, you have the opportunity to learn good habits early.  Don't use verbs as variable names!  It is almost guaranteed to confuse the heck out of anybody who has to read your code later - maybe even yourself, if you don't look at it often. 
Variable naming conventions are a very contentious topic - you'll get fanatical supporters of "x" and "y", or Hungarian notation, or "VeryDescriptiveVariableName", or whatever, and I'm not going to make an endorsement... but I would make two hard and fast rules:
-  Don't use variable names that conflict with reserved words, e.g. don't create a list variable and name it "list". 
-  Don't use variable names that SOUND like they might conflict with reserved words - like "put" and "get".
