Switch as else if in Python 3.10

In Python, there is no switch statement like in other programming languages such as Java or C. However, you can simulate a switch statement using a dictionary or a function, also known as a dispatch table. Here's an example of how to use a dictionary as a switch statement in Python 3.10:

def case_zero():
    print("You typed zero")
    
def case_one():
    print("You typed one")
    
def case_default():
    print("Invalid input")
switch = {

    0: case_zero,

    1: case_one

}
user_input = int(input("Enter a number: "))
switch.get(user_input, case_default)()

In this example, the switch dictionary has keys that represent the user's input and values that are the functions to be called. If the user enters a number that is not a key in the switch dictionary, the case_default function is called.

Another way to simulate a switch statement in Python is to use a series of if and elif statements. Here's an example:

user_input = input("Enter a letter: ")
if user_input == "A":

    print("You typed A")

elif user_input == "B":

    print("You typed B")

else:

    print("Invalid input")

In this example, the if and elif statements act as the different cases in a switch statement. If the user enters a letter that is not handled by any of the if or elif statements, the else block is executed.
