Why do programmers love if else?

@PythonPr #Java programmers prefer switch statements 😀

@PythonPr i’ve no idea. I use switch cases for anything non-trivial and enumerable. A switch statement means the compiler will tell you if you missed one. It’s a far better pattern for any kind of finite state conditional. .

@PythonPr I don't think a lot of people even knows a bout switch case.

There's no middleman here to mark things up. Orders come straight from our shelves to you in as fast as 15 minutes.

@PythonPr convenient and easy to understand

@PythonPr Not allways. If the options are too many switch case is allways the best.

@PythonPr i guess they love throwing away bogged down spaghetti code

@PythonPr First love...

@PythonPr is there switch in python?

@PythonPr but switch case is arguably the best

@PythonPr If else

I started old school on the C64 with the IF/THEN/ELSE and BNE/BEQ in 6502 Assembly. Personal rules I follow to not get caught in if/else and switch/case hell: 1. A 'if' or individual 'cases' logic should never exceed more than five lines in length ,not including the break or return. 2. 'If/else' is always looking at a boolean test result, treat it as such. 3. Get the result and hand-off to a function or return/transform the data itself if it doesn't violate rule #1. 4. use 'switch(match)/case' if a quick check on an object and its value is needed and if the objects value can be more than 2 values. Then hand off to a function following rule #1. As always keep it SOLID :)

@PythonPr kotlin so autistic that needed to use 'when' instead of 'switch'

@PythonPr Because there is no pattern matching in python...

Up late and bored? Tap into live conversations.

@PythonPr @grok why most people prefer if else over switch case.

@PythonPr I also love if else 😂

@PythonPr It looks better

@PythonPr Readability I guess.

@PythonPr Laziness.

@PythonPr `switch-case` is much faster, while `if-else` is highly flexible. I usually use both, sometimes even together in complex decision making scenarios.

@PythonPr Not working with Python, but `match` is heaven.

@PythonPr I think it's time to change semantics. unless (x = 1) { // when x is not 1 } otherwise { // when x is 1 }

@PythonPr The "switch" case is a higher level of abstraction.... 🫥

Free $50 on your first trade

@PythonPr If it can be handled through reflection and you have a lot of cases please avoid switch cases. Tnx

@PythonPr İt's more close to the real life scenarios

@PythonPr because most of them are barely out of high school

@PythonPr if there are so many cases you want to use "switch case" a map is always more clear

@PythonPr Simplicity, make sense

@PythonPr I also wonder. Switch is so powerful.

@PythonPr Hell no! Switch case are best boy

@PythonPr 简单 万能

@PythonPr "If you have four or more else if statements, consider using a switch statement and defining the literals as constants to improve readability."

@PythonPr I love switch cases 🙏

@PythonPr If else is more appropriate for most cases than switch case. Switch case is truly efficient but all depends on how and where its used for.

@PythonPr Because it only makes sense
