Switch in Minitab

Based on the provided input, we extract the target language and the code example to perform the translation. Here is the translation:

Switch statements express conditionals across many branches.

import time

def main():
    # Here’s a basic switch using if-elif-else in Python.
    i = 2
    print(f"Write {i} as ", end="")
    
    if i == 1:
        print("one")
    elif i == 2:
        print("two")
    elif i == 3:
        print("three")
    
    # You can use multiple expressions in the same if statement.
    # We use the else case in this example as well.
    today = time.gmtime().tm_wday
    if today == 5 or today == 6:
        print("It's the weekend")
    else:
        print("It's a weekday")
    
    # if-else logic
    t = time.localtime().tm_hour
    if t < 12:
        print("It's before noon")
    else:
        print("It's after noon")
    
    # Type switch using isinstance
    def what_am_i(i):
        if isinstance(i, bool):
            print("I'm a bool")
        elif isinstance(i, int):
            print("I'm an int")
        else:
            print(f"Don't know type {type(i).__name__}")
    
    what_am_i(True)
    what_am_i(1)
    what_am_i("hey")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

To run the program, simply execute the Python script.

$ python switch_example.py
Write 2 as two
It's a weekday
It's after noon
I'm a bool
I'm an int
Don't know type str

Now that we can run and build basic Python programs, let’s learn more about the language.
