Question

The question is at the very bottom line underneath the Scenario.
This is a Python Programming Question.

Sometimes there are more than two possibilities and we need more than two
branches. One way to express a computation like that is a chained conditional:

if x < y:
   print x, "is less than", y
elif x > y:
   print x, "is greater than", y
else:
   print x, "and", y, "are equal"
elif is an abbreviation of “else if.” Again, exactly one branch will be executed.
There is no limit of the number of elif statements, but the last branch has to be
an else statement:
if choice == ’A’:
   functionA()
elif choice == ’B’:
   functionB()
elif choice == ’C’:
   functionC()
else:
   print "Invalid choice." Each condition is checked in order. If the first is false, the next is checked, and so
on. If one of them is true, the corresponding branch executes, and the statement
ends. Even if more than one condition is true, only the ?rst true branch executes.


Question: Wrap these examples in functions called compare(x, y) and dispatch(choice). The question is at the very bottom line underneath the Scenario.

Explanation / Answer

def compare(x,y): if x y: print x, "is greater than", y else: print x, "and", y, "are equal" def dispatch(choice): if choice == ’A’: functionA() elif choice == ’B’: functionB() elif choice == ’C’: functionC() else: print "Invalid choice."
