Match — Case Python
How to use the new match and case. These keywords allow us to perform structural pattern matching, which is a powerful and expressive way of handling complex data structures and conditions.
In this notebook, you will learn how to:
- Match on lists or tuples
- Match on dictionaries and check specific values
- Use **args to match arbitrary arguments
- Use conditional matching and sub-pattern matching
- Match on data types
Below is the syntax of the Match Case in Python
Below is a simple example
The match-case statement is a new feature in Python 3.10 that allows you to perform pattern matching on different types of data structures, such as lists and tuples. It is similar to the switch-case statement in other languages, but more expressive and concise.
You can also work through dictionaries in match case, see the example below:
How to Check Specific Values in Dictionaries, The first case will execute although the following case satisfies… See the example below
Using **args just like you use it in the Python Functions
Conditional Matching in Match Case: Conditional matching in match case Python is a feature that allows you to add an if clause to the case pattern, so that you can check for more complex conditions. For example, you can write something like this:
Sub Pattern Matching:Sub pattern matching in match case Python is a feature that allows you to use nested patterns inside a case pattern, so that you can match more complex structures.
Data Type Matching: Data type matching in match case Python is a feature that allows you to use the type of a value as a pattern in a case statement, so that you can check if the value is an instance of a certain type.
