What is pattern matching in Python 3.10?

Pattern matching in Python 3.10 allows you to match data structures against patterns, making code more readable.

Can you give me an example of how to use it?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

match command:
    case 'start':
        print('Starting...')
    case 'stop':
        print('Stopping...')
    case _:
        print('Unknown command')

What are the benefits of using pattern matching?

It improves code clarity, reduces the need for multiple if-elif statements, and can handle complex data structures easily.

Are there any limitations to pattern matching?

Yes, pattern matching is limited to certain data types and structures, and it may not be as flexible as traditional methods in some cases.
