Saw an interesting talk tonight on PyMeta which brought back memories of one of my old coworkers working on natural language processing. It also gave me some insight into how a compiler works. Neither of those points are related to what I wanted to jot down though. In showing us some code, the speaker (Tom Marsell) revealed a case-like statement. It struck me as sweet so I jotted it down...partially. When I got home, here is what I got to work:
def meth(operator, num1, num2):
return {
'+': lambda: num1 + num2,
'-': lambda: num1 - num2
}[operator]()
print meth('+', 2, 2)
I don't think that's what Tom had up there but it inspired me nonetheless. Thanks Tom.
