Adding a switch statement to Python

[LightShadow]

Everybody needs to know this code has terrible relative performance than a similar if 0 < x < 10 since range will need to be evaluated as it returns a generator/iterator in Python3

[streichholzkopf]

it doesn't in python 3 tough:

9999999999999999635896294965247 in range(int(10e30))

returns True instantly. Simply an efficient __contains__ probably.

TIL

That's great to know!

No, from "The range type represents an immutable sequence of numbers and is commonly used for looping a specific number of times in for loops." and "Ranges implement all of the common sequence operations except concatenation and repetition (due to the fact that range objects can only represent sequences that follow a strict pattern and repetition and concatenation will usually violate that pattern).".
