What to use instead of switch in Python

Switch needs to be used in the program. I checked and found that there is no such syntax in python. After reading the official documentation, I found out that the official recommendation is to use if..elif...else to replace. If there are too many categories, the official recommendation is to construct a dictionary mapping in the function and then call function(value) to solve it.

switch statement:

'''switch(n)
{case 1:
  执行代码块 1
  break;case 2:
  执行代码块 2
  break;default:
  n 与 case 1 和 case 2 不同时执行的代码
}'''

Example:

'''switch (day)
{case 0:
    x="Today it's Sunday";
    break;
 case 1:
    x="Today it's Monday";
    break;
 case 2:
    x="Today it's Tuesday";
    break;
 case 3:
    x="unknown"}'''

Dictionary method in Python:

day = 3
switcher = {
    0:'Today it\'s Sunday',
    1:'Today it\'s Monday',
    2:'Today it\'s Tuesday'
}
#day_name =switcher[day]  #并不能显示default
day_name = switcher.get(day,'Unknown')
print(day_name)

A simpler way The best way is to use lambda.
