You killed it with this lesson. So many examples. It would take a couple of books to go through to collect this amount of information on a single topic.

WOW! I love the new match(){}. It's refreshing & simpler. I feel like I am ahead of others because not many people know about match(). Tnx :D

For me, it depends. But I love match() expression more than the switch statement. Great video as usual!

I think it's also good to note that if you decide to use an anon function as the value to some key in the match expression, if you want to pass some top level variable down into the anon functions, you can use the "use" keyword, like:

$type="bruh";
$values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

$action = match(strtolower($type)){
"bruh" => function() use($values): string {
return implode(", ", $values);
}
};

echo call_user_func($action);
