How do I use switch case in Python?

Can you explain how to use switch case in Python?

Python doesn't have a built-in switch case statement like some other languages. However, you can achieve similar functionality using dictionaries or if-elif-else statements.

How would I implement it using a dictionary?

You can create a dictionary where keys are the cases and values are the actions. For example:

def switch_case(case):
    switch_dict = {
        'case1': 'Action for case 1',
        'case2': 'Action for case 2',
    }
    return switch_dict.get(case, 'Default action')

What if I need to execute multiple statements for a case?

You can define a function for each case that contains multiple statements, or use a list of functions to call them based on the case.

Can you give me an example of that?

Sure! Here's an example:

def case1():
    print('Action 1')
    print('Action 1.1')

def case2():
    print('Action 2')

switch_dict = {
    'case1': case1,
    'case2': case2,
}

switch_dict.get('case1', lambda: print('Default action'))()  # Calls case1 function
