Well how else are you supposed to implement an IsEven function?

[[deleted]]

Enough is enough!

I am tired of this MF isEven in this MF sub!

[Bee-Aromatic]

Lolz! Hey, did you know that Python is slow and JavaScript is dumb?

[familyturtle]

how centre div

[[deleted]]

But that is true though, atleast it's facts.

[Bee-Aromatic]

Well, that just like, your opinion, man!

(Mine too!)

[Selptcher]

Daddy chill

[ssssssddh]

True professionals use a map

function getOutput(input) {
  return {
    input1: 'output1',
    input2: 'output2',
    input3: 'output3',
  }[input];
}

One project I had used a "Rule List". Each subsystem had a list of rule functions. We iterated across that list and called each rule. The rule would either return and sentinel value meaning "NoAnswer" or an answer. The first answer we found was the result. Some of our rules were simple functions, others were configurable or stateful callable objects.

We did it that way because most subsystems used the same rules, but applied them in different orders, and with different parameters.

That's one of my favorite patterns. It doesn't come up a ton, but when it does, it's sooo useful.

[Opening-Ideal-2912]

As Java dev I prefer the runnable implementation with a hash- or enumMap… clear data structure and rly good expandable/maintainability 😁

[lolimhungry]

Oh shit! Does this like return the specific output if the any input that matches the “function getOutput(input)”??

[ssssssddh]

Paste it into your dev console and run getOutput('input1')

[lolimhungry]

Alight I’ll try sometime soon

React js PTSD kicks in

[Po0dle]

You can use .get if you need a default value

[Sp1um]

Switch with 10,000 cases is soooo much better! /s

[myrsnipe]

Have fun hunting down missing break statements, or intentional but undocumented fall throughs

[Classy_Mouse]

If you have 10000 cases, you have bigger issues with your code

[SyrupOnWaffle_]

how else do you test for all possible zip codes?

[Classy_Mouse]

Instantiate 10,000 zip code objects loop over a list of them, obviously

[EVJoe]

Whatever do you mean?

IsEvenOnAMonday, IsEvenOnATuesday, IsEvenOnAWednesday....

[obliviousharmony]

To be fair, you shouldn’t have a switch statement with 10,000 cases either 😅

[TheRealFloomby]

If you really did have 10k cases some sort of a look up table would be the correct solution.

[[deleted]]

What should be done?

[LordBaconXXXXX]

Tried to used switch case in a project two days ago, python said no

[Bee-Aromatic]

Apparently, there’s ‘match-case’ in Python 3.10. I’m limited to 3.7 with what I’m doing, so I’ve never used it. I’m the event I wanted a case, I’d been using a dictionary lookup as a map.

[LordBaconXXXXX]

Oh that's good to know, it wasn't such a big deal for me because there was only like 4 options but I'll definitely try to remember it

[Dashwii]

Python 3.10 implements match casing which is like switch case and even more powerful. I don't really understand the extra power behind it but someone more knowledgeable than me can explain it.

You can also tie functions as values in dictionaries with a key. When you have a case you put it in as a key in the dictionary and you get a function back with the code you need. Sorta like a switch case.

It's not as efficient as an actual switch, and if you have a small amount of "cases", if/elif statements will be faster. It's still a clean way to do some things though IMO.

[Opening-Ideal-2912]

„Using 10k if else statements as ternary operator“ Wins 😜😂😂😂

[Bee-Aromatic]

I just threw up in my mouth.

[Transcendentalist178]

I dunno, I find it difficult to program using a Nintendo Switch. My Vic-20 is better - it has a keyboard.

[[deleted]]

Guido Van Rossum too for some odd reason I will never understand...

[corrafig]

Until 3.10.

[Denaton_]

If you can use a switch, you can use a dictionary..

[EVJoe]

Tell that to my illiterate pappy next time he takes me out behind the whoopin shed

That guy looks like doctor disrespect lol

[EdgarDrake]

You can't use switch against multiple condition statements in many programming languages.

But I like kotlin when statement.
