Alhaaz ,

your comment that python `match ... case` can not handle float values is *not* correct.

it requires python 3.10 +, (the current version of sololearn is 3.9.18)

Answer 3

When you have to compare something several times, you can write a bunch of IF statements. Match Case is a simple way to do that. You can always do this with IF statements. But it's a little easier to read like this.

Look at this function:

def http_error(status):
match status:
case 400:
return "Bad request"
case 404:
return "Not found"
case 418:
return "I'm a teapot"
