Set function as dict value in Python and pass arguments

Question

I want to create something like a "Switch case" object in Python, i'm using a dict and I want it to call a function when the key is used in my code.

This is the code

def main():
    switch = {
        1: incSearch(),
        2: bisec()
    }  
    switch.get(input(), lambda: print('Invalid option'))

The trouble cames that every time I run my script, it automatically executes the first method without letting the user input

Answer 1

You should use the function's name without calling it when storing in a dictionary:

switch = {
    1: incSearch,
    2: bisec
}

You should also call the function after getting it from the dict:

switch.get(input(), lambda: print('Invalid option'))()
