Python Match Case

Used to match a value against multiple conditions (similar to switch case).

example

day = 3
 
match day:
    case 1:
        print("Monday")
    case 2:
        print("Tuesday")
    case 3:
        print("Wednesday")
    case _:
        print("Invalid day")

output

Wednesday

Syntax

match variable:
    case value1:
        print(" ")
    case value2:
        print(" ")
    case _:
        print("default")

Important

• match checks the value
• case defines conditions
• _ is used as default (like else)
• Available in Python 3.10+
