Switch Case in Python
Python does not have a built-in switch
case statement like some other programming languages. Instead, similar functionality can be achieved using dictionary mappings or if-elif-else statements.
Dictionary Mapping: Use a dictionary where keys are the case values and values are the corresponding actions (functions or lambdas).
if-elif-else Statements: Sequentially check conditions and execute the corresponding block of code.
Both methods offer flexibility and can handle complex conditions, though dictionary mappings are generally more concise and efficient for straightforward cases. This approach allows Python to maintain its simplicity and readability.
