The original code used SumType but the effect is the same.

I suppose that I could write the following:

```
     if(n == 2) value = 2;
     else value = "string";
```

Is there a workaround for this that maintains a similar syntactic structure?

value = n == 2 ? Alg(2) : Alg("string");

is this behaviour accepted

Yes.

or should the compiler translate the first case in the second?

No.
