Most of programming languages out there have switch-case statements. Python doesn't have support for switch-case statements though. switch-case statements can sometimes be nice and tidy and sometimes it may be a horrible nightmare. But that also applies to if-elif-else statements. It would be nice to have switch-case statements support in python.
Suggested syntax :- -------------------
switch expr: case expr2: case expr3: statements default: statements
How should it be implemented? -----------------------------------
First of all this will require a new syntax. Second I suggest for comparing the case expr with switch expr, compare the pointers instead of objects for better performance. Usually if the ladder is represented using if-elif-else logic then it would be lower performance because we'll end up comparing objects not pointers. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/32SKTI...
