no

Answer 11

switch-case is error prone. Nevertheless, in many languages, it can be used for limited types. I think that is why a solid practical language like Python does not bother to provide it. Use good old if-else, you can use it for any complex conditions as well as can use them within hierarchy.

Answer 12

# Gami in regard to alternatives to if else
# in python

import this

my_var = 55
my_var2 = 56

if my_var < my_var2:
print('smaller')
else:
print('equal or larger')

# there are other options
# to if else but they are not
# always as obvious to interpret.
# Consider that python's ethos is clarity
# if choosing to use them

print(('equal or larger','smaller')[my_var < my_var2])
