What's an alternative to if/elif statements in Python? [duplicate]

Answer 1

This is the first thing that comes to my mind:

Instead of doing this:

if option1:
    a = 1
elif oprtion2:
    a = 2
elif oprtion3:
    a = 3
else:
    a = 0

You can do this:

a = 1 if option1 else 2 if option 2 else 3 if option3 else 0
