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?

您可以使用分派的dict:

#!/usr/bin/env python


def case1():
    print("This is case 1")

def case2():
    print("This is case 2")

def case3():
    print("This is case 3")


token_dict = {
    "case1" : case1,
    "case2" : case2,
    "case3" : case3,
}


def main():
    cases = ("case1", "case3", "case2", "case1")
    for case in cases:
        token_dict[case]()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

输出:

This is case 1
This is case 3
This is case 2
This is case 1

其他回答

我要把我的两分钱放在这里。Python中没有case/switch语句的原因是因为Python遵循“只有一种正确的方法”的原则。很明显,您可以想出各种方法来重新创建switch/case功能,但实现这一点的Python方法是if/elf构造。即。,

if something:
    return "first thing"
elif somethingelse:
    return "second thing"
elif yetanotherthing:
    return "third thing"
else:
    return "default thing"

我只是觉得PEP 8应该在这里获得认可。Python的一个优点是它的简单和优雅。这在很大程度上源于PEP8中提出的原则,包括“只有一种正确的方法可以做某事。”

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]

我倾向于使用字典的解决方案是:

def decision_time( key, *args, **kwargs):
    def action1()
        """This function is a closure - and has access to all the arguments"""
        pass
    def action2()
        """This function is a closure - and has access to all the arguments"""
        pass
    def action3()
        """This function is a closure - and has access to all the arguments"""
        pass

   return {1:action1, 2:action2, 3:action3}.get(key,default)()

这样做的优点是它不需要每次都对函数求值,您只需确保外部函数获得内部函数所需的所有信息。

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

我喜欢Mark Bies的回答

由于x变量必须使用两次,我将lambda函数修改为无参数。

我必须运行结果[value](value)

In [2]: result = {
    ...:   'a': lambda x: 'A',
    ...:   'b': lambda x: 'B',
    ...:   'c': lambda x: 'C'
    ...: }
    ...: result['a']('a')
    ...: 
Out[2]: 'A'

In [3]: result = {
    ...:   'a': lambda : 'A',
    ...:   'b': lambda : 'B',
    ...:   'c': lambda : 'C',
    ...:   None: lambda : 'Nothing else matters'

    ...: }
    ...: result['a']()
    ...: 
Out[3]: 'A'

编辑:我注意到我可以在字典中使用None类型。因此,这将模拟交换机;其他情况
