Is it possible to change the called functions depending on the content of the string?

Question

Python

I can't really describe what I want, but I'll try.

def num(Number):
   if Number == 1:
       print("Hi")
    elif Number == 2:
       print("hello")
    elif Number == 1 2 3;
        print("Hi hello nice" )
    elif Number == 1-3:
        print("Hi-nice")

Is it possible to somehow optimize such code so that there are not many conditions and is it possible to implement such code at all?

Is it possible to implement this

Answer 1

In general, such things are done through a dictionary.
If you just want to make a template string, then you can use replace via replace, bypassing all the key-value pairs in your dictionary.

d = {1: 'Hi', 2: 'hello', 3: 'nice'}

def foo(s):
    for key, value in d.items():
        s = s.replace(str(key), value)
    print(s)

foo('1')
foo('2')
foo('1 2 3')
foo('1-3')

just don't mess with data types.

Answer 2

d = {"1": 'Hi', "2": 'hello', "3": 'nice'}
trans_table = str.maketrans(d)

s = "1 2 3"

print(s.translate(trans_table))
