Hello,
I am trying to translate some code from MATLAB to Python. This particular code is puzzling me as Python does not have or use Switch/Case statements. Reading that "the switch block tests each case until one of the case expressions is true" which reminds me of a while loop.
However, I am fairly certain that is not the case. Can somebody help me translate this and explain the conceptual differences between the if/elif statements and the switch/case statements?
Here is the code:
if (rem(length(varargin),2)==1) error('Optional parameters should always go by pairs');else for i=1:2:(length(varargin)-1) switch upper(varargin{i}) case 'MM_ITERS' MMiters = varargin{i+1}; case 'SPHERIZE' spherize = varargin{i+1}; case 'MU' mu = varargin{i+1}; case 'LAMBDA' lambda = varargin{i+1}; case 'TOLF' tol_f = varargin{i+1}; case 'M0' M = varargin{i+1}; case 'VERBOSE' verbose = varargin{i+1}; otherwise % Hmmm, something wrong with the parameter string
error(['Unrecognized option: ''' varargin{i} '''']); end; end;end
