[vegaseat]

In Python a dictionary is used to implement a switch/case statement ...

# a dictionary switch/case like statement to replace
# multiple if/elif/else statements in Python

def switch_case(case):
    return case + " --> " + {
    'one hundred' : '100',
    'two hundred' : '200',
    'three hundred and fifty' : '350'
    }.get(case, "no case available")


# test it
num_str = 'three hundred and fifty'
print(switch_case(num_str))

print(switch_case('one hundred'))

"""
my result -->
three hundred and fifty --> 350
one hundred --> 100
"""
