What are some examples of switch statements in Python?

Python doesn't have a built-in switch statement like some other languages, but you can use dictionaries to achieve similar functionality.

Can you show me a code example using a dictionary as a switch?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

def switch_example(value):
    switcher = {
        1: "One",
        2: "Two",
        3: "Three",
    }
    return switcher.get(value, "Invalid number")

print(switch_example(2))  # Output: Two

What if I want to execute functions instead of returning strings?

You can map keys to functions in the dictionary. Here's an example:

def one(): return "Function One"

def two(): return "Function Two"

def switch_example(value):
    switcher = {
        1: one,
        2: two,
    }
    func = switcher.get(value, lambda: "Invalid number")
    return func()

print(switch_example(1))  # Output: Function One
