How to get the same output without using any type of conditionals?!

Question

Yesterday, I read an article that made think about it. So, it is possible to get the same results in codes below without using if-statements (or ternary operators, or switch statements)...🤔❓

Please feel free to provide explanation and/or examples in whichever language you want to. Thanks!

Andrei Voinea Thanks for sharing you knowledge. It would've been interesting seeing the similar result you are mentioning. You can submit a solution in any other language in case you want to. 🙂👍🏻

Answer 3

ODNLT Your reply makes me think again!
Technically, a "Logical Operator" could be considered a 'conditional statement', as well❓‼️
what do you think?!🤔

Answer 4

ODLNT Thanks for your clarification! 🤓

Answer 5

ODLNT Wouldn't be "while" also a conditional statement?! Maybe, any other possible solution?!🙈

Jordan Toum What is your proposal?!

Answer 7

Python, without any dirty hacks and even any binary operators

Okay, this version even better, only int() used as trick (round() can do the trick too)

So, here we go, my variant number 3.
Now works with all numbers. int() does only trick

ODLNT Let's see if someone else can provide other solutions (and in other languages) as well!

Answer 9

In Ruby, there is a powerful hash map which can be any type (boolean too). See this.

I can guarantee that there will be many other solutions posted.

Answer 14

Geovanny

Technically no, logical operators are conjunctions adding conditional statements together to create a compound/complex conditional statement, but your point is well taken in that my answer still uses boolean to solve the problem.
