Using dict as switch is too complicated for current task.

For me this is way too complicated approach for the given task. And is more for the Puzzle category if you ask me

Too simple and boring for the puzzle category. Let it lie so or i will move it if get more than 3 votes.

Hey, nice solution. Could you explain that part of code: "[fizz_buzz]" or where to find documentation about it? Thx.

Hey, nice solution. Could you explain that part of code after "return" or where to find documentation, further examples about that kind of syntax? Thx.

I'm using a dict and tuple as an index. fizz_buzz is a tuple with various combinations of true and false. And then we choose a value from the dict by this key.

This is a cool solution, but I think it would be clearer if it looked like this <pre class='brush: python'>def checkio(number): """ Python switch-case """ fizz_buzz = bool(number % 3), bool(number % 5) dictionary = {(False, False): "Fizz Buzz", (False, True): "Fizz", (True, False): "Buzz", (True, True): str(number)} return dictionary[fizz_buzz] </pre>

Sorry, but how is that (more) "clear" than a simple if-else? Interesting solution, but wrong category.

Very good approach but not for this category.

Ok, you are the fifth. I will move this :-)

I missed [fizzbuzz] in the end and tried to understand the magic in relation between fizzbuzz and (False, False) :)

Nice!

bryukh on Sept. 19, 2016, 3:27 p.m.
thx!

I would put it in some category

bryukh on Sept. 19, 2016, 6:11 p.m.
It can't be categorized. Don't try to estimate it.

oduvan on Sept. 19, 2016, 6:19 p.m.
Creative?

bryukh on Sept. 20, 2016, 4:37 a.m.
I like to be in "Uncategorized"

DahliaSR on Sept. 19, 2016, 7:09 p.m.
I like it, even though its a bit complicated. But I had no idea that's it possible to use tuple as index for dictionary... learned something.

msmi0x on Nov. 13, 2016, 9:44 a.m.
isn't it the point of mapping types? using more data types -other than integers-as keys

julieno on Jan. 18, 2017, 6:39 p.m.
I'd say it's creative

Pavetta on June 28, 2018, 11:14 p.m.
I like different solutions!
