In Python do we have the switch function? [duplicate]

No, in general the solution is to use if and elif :

x = 1
if x == 0:
    print("imprime 0")
elif x == 1:
    print("imprime 1")
elif x == 2:
    print("imprime 2")
else:
   print("imprime outra coisa")

Or a dictionary that generates something close but has no default option so you would have to check before it fits in or make sure it will always be valid.

x = 1
print({
        1 : "deu um",
        2 : "deu dois",
    }[x])

Or if you want to do something:

print({
        1 : lambda x: x + 2,
        2 : lambda x: x - 2,
        3 : lambda x: x * 2
}[x](5))

If you want something more complex then you will have to create functions and call there.

See running on ideone . And no Coding Ground . Also I put GitHub for future reference .

if and switch is essentially the same thing. The only real gain from it is the optimization that some languages do, but it makes little sense in Python. switch may have a higher syntax cost in some cases. Some languages put extra functionality in switch .

I use a language that switch has no advantages. I'd rather use if same.

switch is not a function it is a language command.
