我想用Python编写一个函数,根据输入索引的值返回不同的固定值。

在其他语言中,我会使用switch或case语句,但Python似乎没有switch语句。在此场景中,推荐的Python解决方案是什么?


当前回答

定义:

def switch1(value, options):
  if value in options:
    options[value]()

允许您使用相当简单的语法,并将案例绑定到映射中:

def sample1(x):
  local = 'betty'
  switch1(x, {
    'a': lambda: print("hello"),
    'b': lambda: (
      print("goodbye," + local),
      print("!")),
    })

我一直试图用一种能让我摆脱“lambda:”的方式重新定义开关,但我放弃了。调整定义:

def switch(value, *maps):
  options = {}
  for m in maps:
    options.update(m)
  if value in options:
    options[value]()
  elif None in options:
    options[None]()

允许我将多个案例映射到同一代码,并提供默认选项:

def sample(x):
  switch(x, {
    _: lambda: print("other") 
    for _ in 'cdef'
    }, {
    'a': lambda: print("hello"),
    'b': lambda: (
      print("goodbye,"),
      print("!")),
    None: lambda: print("I dunno")
    })

每个复制的案例都必须在自己的字典中;switch()在查找值之前合并字典。它仍然比我想象的更丑,但它的基本效率是对表达式使用散列查找,而不是循环所有键。

其他回答

Python 3.10(2021)引入了match-case语句,该语句提供了Pythons“switch”的一流实现。例如:

def f(x):
    match x:
        case 'a':
            return 1
        case 'b':
            return 2
        case _:
            return 0   # 0 is the default case if x is not found

match-case语句比这个简单的示例强大得多。


以下原始答案写于2008年,当时还未提供匹配案例:

你可以用字典:

def f(x):
    return {
        'a': 1,
        'b': 2,
    }[x]

我使用的解决方案:

这里发布的两个解决方案的组合,相对容易阅读,并支持默认值。

result = {
  'a': lambda x: x * 5,
  'b': lambda x: x + 7,
  'c': lambda x: x - 2
}.get(whatToUse, lambda x: x - 22)(value)

哪里

.get('c', lambda x: x - 22)(23)

在dict中查找“lambda x:x-2”,并在x=23时使用它

.get('xxx', lambda x: x - 22)(44)

在dict中找不到它,使用默认的“lambda x:x-22”,x=44。

易于记忆:

while True:
    try:
        x = int(input("Enter a numerical input: "))
    except:
        print("Invalid input - please enter a Integer!");
    if x==1:
        print("good");
    elif x==2:
        print("bad");
    elif x==3:
        break
    else:
        print ("terrible");
# simple case alternative

some_value = 5.0

# this while loop block simulates a case block

# case
while True:

    # case 1
    if some_value > 5:
        print ('Greater than five')
        break

    # case 2
    if some_value == 5:
        print ('Equal to five')
        break

    # else case 3
    print ( 'Must be less than 5')
    break
class Switch:
    def __init__(self, value):
        self.value = value

    def __enter__(self):
        return self

    def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
        return False # Allows a traceback to occur

    def __call__(self, *values):
        return self.value in values


from datetime import datetime

with Switch(datetime.today().weekday()) as case:
    if case(0):
        # Basic usage of switch
        print("I hate mondays so much.")
        # Note there is no break needed here
    elif case(1,2):
        # This switch also supports multiple conditions (in one line)
        print("When is the weekend going to be here?")
    elif case(3,4):
        print("The weekend is near.")
    else:
        # Default would occur here
        print("Let's go have fun!") # Didn't use case for example purposes
