Python match clause

Question

Do our sololearn python version support match clause (switch clause in c++ or case var of ) as in Pascal?

Answer 1

import platform
print(platform.python_version())

Sololearn's Python as of now is 3.9.16

switch case is 3.10 upwards

Answer 2

Oliver Pasaribu ,

Pydroid 3 (the Android app for running Python 3) has upgraded to 3.11.4 now, so I played around with the match compound statement there.

import random

n = random.randint(1, 4) # (inclusive)

match n:
case 1:
print(n, "is one.")
case 2:
print(n, "is two.")
case _: # _ always matches.
print(n, "isn't one or two.")

Possible outputs:
1 is one.
2 is two.
3 isn't one or two.
4 isn't one or two.

One thing notable is that it adds another special-case use of the _ symbol to the language.

Answer 3

also, the cases automatically break out of the match clause if a match is found, so no need to add the 'break' keyword to each case, something that is common in other languages.
You can also use conditional if statements in the pattern, as well as match wildcards, dictionary key values, etc...
It is a step above simple switch case, and more versatile than if-else.
