Python Switch construct

Question

Is there a switch statement in Python just like there is one in C language?

Answer 1

You can use the python dictionary for this purpose:

def switch(x):
    return {
        'a': 1,
        'b': 2
    }.get(x, 10)    # 10 is default if x not found

...

switch('b')

Check out the docs for the dict.get() here: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/stdtypes.html#dict.get
