Do you mean, like how is it implemented, or how does one use it?
silver cobalt
both, i suppose..

Are you familiar with switch cases in other languages?
silver cobalt
can’t say i am
raven blade
action = input("input action")
if action == "open":
...
elif action == "close":
...
elif action == "move":
...
elif action == ...:
...
So, the match statement would make writing this a bit easier.

i see..

I can write a bit more, just need to craft the example.
action = input("input action: ")
match action:
case "open":
...
case "close":
...
case ...
So this is just something really basic, but match is a lot more powerful than this.
If you're comfortable reading Python, then this PEP I think does a great job showing all of the neat features.

I think the examples are pretty self contained and approachable, if you have questions about them, don't hesitate to ask.
