Effective Dictionary Usage(C#): Avoid If Statements
If you have not Medium membership, you can use the friend link to read this article.
After publishing this article, I got so many feedbacks. They claim that dictionary usage is more complicated than if usage and they claim I made mistake about performance benchmarks. Unfortunately, as I see they were right mostly :(
So that, I canceled benchmark section for now and I will make bigger change when I have time.
In this case, you can use polymorphism or some design patterns(probably it would be better for performance).
I suggest read this as an article that gives a different perspective on the usage of dictionary.
Thanks Eiad Al-khanshour, Konstantin Mi and some Reddit users for their feedbacks.
So many best practises suggest to avoid if statements . They say thatif conditions make more complex and buggy our applications.
Of course, conditions are a basic concept of programming. We can’t get rid of if statements completely but we can decrease its usage.
