Replacements for switch statement in Python?

Question

I want to write a program which returns different values for different input,it can be easily done using switch case but Python doesn’t seem to have switch cases so, can anyone suggest me some alternative?

Answer 1

@Anvi, To replace a switch statement in Python use the following code:

def f(x):

    return {

        'p': 9,

        'q': 5,

   }[x]

Alternatively, you can also use:

def f(x):

    return {

        'p': 9,

        'q': 5

    }.get(x, 0)

Answer 2

You can use the below-mentioned code:-

result = {

  'a': lambda x: x * 5,

  'b': lambda x: x + 7,

  'c': lambda x: x - 2

}[value](x)
