In CPP we've the "switch-case" statement for comparing a value with many cases. What's the equivalent for it in python?

Question

what's the equivalent for switch statement in python other than the elif chain?

Answer 1

Here is a neat way using a dictionary:

choices = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
result = choices.get(key, 'default')

You can always use if/elif/else:

if x == 'a':
# Do the thing
elif x == 'b':
# Do the other thing
if x in 'bc':
# Fall-through by not using elif, but now the default case includes case 'a'
elif x in 'xyz':
# Do yet another thing
else:
# Do the default

Answer 2

if:
elif:
(repeat as much as you want)
else:

Sorry bro Python is too simple, no other way.
Others include

Answer 3

"elif" is same as "else-if' in CPP, there might be some easier methods.
