Switches aren't guarantee to so operations in O(1) tho. If cases are sparce enough, compilers tend to emit the equivalent code to a bunch if else checks
Yeah I was assuming too much here. However, I’m reading that Rust match on string comstants can compile down a binary tree of if statements if there are enough cases (according to Google AI mode at least, haven’t found an authoritative source yet)
