switch statements

Question

can you do switch statements in python, like you can in c++?

Answer 1

No you can not. But you can implement it by yourself.
We can create a dictionary where the key is the case value and the key value is a function.

def default():
print("default function")

def first():
print("first function")

def second():
print("second function")

dict = {
"first": first,
"second": second
}

def switch(case):
if case in dict:
dict[case]()
else:
default()

#Usage

string = input()
switch(string)
