That's kinda what I thought but a couple of people suggested that I used lambdas to make it clearer that I figured I was doing something wrong...
Well you can use lambdas. Have them return an expression which you print after retrieving:
ftable = { 'a' : lambda: 'a',
'b' : lambda: 'b or c',
'c' : lambda: 'b or c',
'd' : lambda: ''}
print ftable.get(var, lambda: 'default case')()
But it would be clearer to store just the expressions:
ftable = { 'a' : 'a',
'b' : 'b or c',
'c' : 'b or c',
'd' : ''}
print ftable.get(var, 'default case')Bob Gailer
