Replace if-statement with a more elegant solution in python [on hold]

I have a code with several if-else statements in python and I want to optimize it without using all those if-elif statements. My code using the input variables with the purpose of output 3 variables by checking 12 specific combinations of the input vars. My code is the following:



def probs(s_a, s_b, r_a, g_b, user_a, user_b, value):


if s_a < 0.3 and r_a == True and g_b == True and (0.33 < s_b < 0.66):
return 1, (user_a + user_b), value
elif s_a < 0.3 and r_a == True and g_b == True and (s_b > 0.66):
return 2, (user_a + user_b), value
elif (0.33 < s_a < 0.66) and r_a == True and g_b == True and (s_b > 0.66):
return 3, (user_a + user_b), value
elif s_a < 0.3 and r_a == True and g_b == False and (0.33 < s_b < 0.66):
return 4, (user_a + user_b), value
elif s_a < 0.3 and r_a == True and g_b == False and (s_b > 0.66):
return 5, (user_a + user_b), value
elif (0.33 < s_a < 0.66) and r_a == True and g_b == False and (s_b > 0.66):
return 6, (user_a + user_b), value
elif s_a < 0.3 and r_a == False and g_b == True and (0.33 < s_b < 0.66):
return 7, (user_a + user_b), value
elif s_a < 0.3 and r_a == False and g_b == True and (s_b > 0.66):
return 8, (user_a + user_b), value
elif (0.33 < s_a < 0.66) and r_a == False and g_b == True and (s_b > 0.66):
return 9, (user_a + user_b), value
elif s_a < 0.3 and r_a == False and g_b == False and (0.33 < s_b < 0.66):
return 10, (user_a + user_b), value
elif s_a < 0.3 and r_a == False and g_b == False and (s_b > 0.66):
return 11, (user_a + user_b), value
elif (0.33 < s_a < 0.66) and r_a == False and g_b == False and (s_b > 0.66):
return 12, (user_a + user_b), value
else:
return 0, (user_a + user_b), value


Is there a way to write the same code with a more elegant way and avoiding all those if-else statements?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave these specific reasons:



  • "Lacks concrete context: Code Review requires concrete code from a project, with sufficient context for reviewers to understand how that code is used. Pseudocode, stub code, hypothetical code, obfuscated code, and generic best practices are outside the scope of this site." – Malachi

  • "Code not implemented or not working as intended: Code Review is a community where programmers peer-review your working code to address issues such as security, maintainability, performance, and scalability.

Making some educated guesses about typos in your code, you may be able to use something like this:



def probs(s_a, s_b, r_a, g_b, user_a, user_b, value):
ranges = (

(None, 0.3, True, True, 0.66, None),

ok = (
(sa_min is None or sa_min < s_a) and
