So I can do a Select Case in python with  if integer == 1:   case0() elif integer == 2:   case2() elif integer == 3:   case3() .... elif integer == N:   caseN()   Some times I use a list using the index as a selector.  selectCase = [case0(),case1(),case3(),...,caseN()] [N]   But this makes that each item in the list to be processed before selected right?  So I was wondering if there other ways to do this without spanning so much vertically to control what code is executed. Are there maybe ways to jump to parts of the code? Maybe I don't want to solve a function but just skip some lines.  Thanks
I want to write a function in Python that returns different fixed values based on the value of an input index.    In other languages I would use a switch or case statement, but Python does not appear to have a switch statement.  What are the recommended Python solutions in this scenario?
I have found film reels some with tails of film others not. Is there a way of telling if they have been exposed/used in a camera? Film types are for 35mm and one Kodak Advantix. I have some lines. I want to draw perpendicular lines at the start and end of the lines, on both sides of the lines.  Can somebody help me in Python?  I am using ArcGIS. How can I save the command and its execution output to file at the same time Suppose I have a command java -cp src/ nlp.lm.BigramModel wsj/ 0.1, I want to save the command itself and the command execution output to the file at the same time.  One way to do this is to   echo "$ java -cp src/ nlp.lm.BigramModel atis/ 0.1" &gt; trace/bigram-trace.txt     java -cp src/ nlp.lm.BigramModel atis/ 0.1 &gt;&gt; trace/bigram-trace.txt   Is there a better way to do this? What did Hegel mean by 'world spirit'? I understand that Hegel intends to justify the history of mankind by stating that every town and society that has existed has been a test indirectly arranged by the 'world spirit' in order to eventually create a town in which people would live ethically, and that this process has been done in order for the 'world spirit' to become aware of its freedom. But what exactly is this 'world spirit'?   In the last quiz of a course I'm taking (I´ve taken this year a philosophy course at college), I wrote that the 'world spirit' was some kind of parasitic entity which inhabits every human being that has existed and is going to exist. Does this seem right? update-initramfs missing /lib/modules/4.4.0-13-generic Is there an expression to indicate the strategy of wearing someone down with numerous small irritations? I would use rope-a-dope, but it's got connotations of pretending to lose that I don't need. I'm trying to describe the behavior of someone who sends twenty detailed emails a day about various projects, and the recipient of his emails has finally gotten tired of trying to parse them, so the recipient just agrees to whatever he proposes. I'd like an expression that evokes both outward earnestness and hidden creepiness, like Uriah Heep, Dickens's "Humble servant" with veiled ambition, who overdoes it with professions of humility until he's in power. Water torture would work, but comes too close to a more racist expression that I'm not comfortable with. What happens to the energy when waves perfectly cancel each other?

Is the term "errored out" a grammatically correct phrase, or just a colloquial one? Check if partition is encrypted past simple or present perfect Please have a look at this sentence:     We haven't gotten a lot of Finnish groups that we liked here at Bananas but I'm pretty happy with this four tracker from Helsinki, apparently recorded in the same place where the Ramones played in the 70's.     The first verb is in present perfect (up to now) and the second is in simple past tense. I don't understand the simple past for the second verb.  Why "like" is not in its present perfect form as the first verb is? Anyone seen this one yet? Vote too old to be changed, unless post is edited My vote was only a few hours old. Then I realized the answer was wrong. Updated my question and went to remove the vote. Even after updating question I still have the issue. Small issue, but frustrating.

I know the standard answer and understand that I will be losing out on that compound interest, but I am young and only need to borrow a few thousand. here are some more details:   Need to borrow $6500 to pay off a car and two student loans ($300/month in payments combined) I am 22 and work full time, making about $70K annually I contribute 8% of my income with a 4% company match I increase that by 2% every year The loan would be over 48 months ($140/month) I live very frugally and have almost no discretionary spending that can be cut (don't eat out all the time, no gym membership/ Netflix/ Apple music etc.) I'm cash-poor: 90% of my salary is going to mortgage, groceries, students loans, car payment, newborn baby medical expenses, and commute. These are not my only debts, just the ones I am seeking to pay off in the short term. I work two jobs, one full and one part time. I started a business, and my wife has two jobs. Working more is not a good answer to the original question.   It seems to me that I would be reducing middle to high interest debt while also saving myself $150 per month.   Loans:     Student loan 1: $1200 @ 5%   Student loan 2: $1100 @ 4.25%   Car Loan: $4000 @ 6%
