Using maps to replace multiple ifs

[Haddood]

now and then I face a command where I need many ifs (to simulate a switch command) ... and the command does not look efficient ...
today I had this idea to make this very simple. By replace the multiple ifs with values from a map ....
images explain it all ...

for sure for 3 ifs is not a big deal, apart from being neat ... but in case of 50, this will be a big difference

That does seem more efficient.

Actually in the case of that example, you could even do it in a single line:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.1.4.2-->
<command id="587" name="one line" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="">
  <action>
    <cmdType>PY.ExecString</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>LEDcolour("{M:Mapping.LED{status}}")</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
</command>

Wow ... Now I have to go check all my commands
