Structural Pattern Matching - Exciting New Python Feature (3.10)

Welcome back to another YouTube video! In this video, I'm going to be showing a new feature coming to Python version 3.10. This feature is Structural Pattern Matching, this is similar to a switch statement in other programming languages but much stronger.

I think the case(0, y) makes horizontal line with y provided, not a vertical, and vice versa.

Finally it would be easy and less chaotic to make command line programs.

I was fascinated that Python avoided a switch statement and now I see this and think, "It was worth the wait". This is great and extremely flexible.

Congrats python for improving on an old concept in a new and innovative way! It was worth the wait for the switch statement to see this!

Finally! I've been missing switch statements in Python

MISTAKE IN THIS VIDEO

You don't NEED to use an underscore. You can AND SHOULD use any valid variable name to capture the value for later use, such as if you want to include the value in a raised error.

The reason the underscore is used is that sometimes you will not need to access that variable after capturing it and in python tools (flake8, pylint, pylance, mypy), the underscore doesn't raise a warning if the variable is never accessed as any other variable name will.

ohh What a nice video it is! Thanks for every information. match and switch statements are more useful than if and else. We can already use these instead of those and it prevent to repeat the same things. Now we just need to use one of them(match and switch) and It is the easier way to make code in Python in my opinion.

Hello everybody and welcome ... Your intro is the best! And content too :)

[amir]

as a java programmer that uses switch statements all the time. i am very excited.

[krsaad]

Great job Tim!
it's just like He Did developed Python 3.10 version

[MadPonyInteractive]

I love the way you explain, thank you.
This is really powerful stuff specially when we integrate *args and **kwargs, def gonna use the heck out of it

[erikawwad]

union and algebraic data types are cool as hell

[paulmann]

The one feature I thought python lacked and now we have it. I've not been this excited about a new version of a language since VB4 came out.

Honestly I'm hyped over the new "match" statement.

[xc]

basically an alternative to the if, elif and else statement?

[hackerxfn]

Nice video, can I use the "match" & "case" statements at one line like the "if" one, also I am not sure why did they add these while we can simply do almost most of it using the "if" statement and get the same result ..

[rice]

I have to say that I wasn't sure that I expected it to be anything hype, but damn - I will probably upgrade right away just to get this feature :D

[mathewsjoby]

Just a few hours ago I finished all the series and then there were none left and a few hours later there it is! Thankyou so much Tim!

[aleksandarharalampiev]

Your awesome man. Keep the good work up

[jelle]

I've just started to learn JavaScript and was wondering why python did not have a switch statement... amazing video/explanation, thank you!

[gecsus]

This is "select case" like in other languages, but maybe more powerful.
