Oh, it is not an assignment, Dave. It is an actual program I am using
for my benefit. I had to figure out on a fly, what is the name of a piece
of property that each number represent. I had to reckon something out
within a limited amount of time I had. Giving the response given here
so far, I could go with a list, dictionary or tuple.
Two other advantages with using a tuple, list or dictionary
1) is that you might someday need to do the reverse lookup, changing a
string back into the integer. If you do it from the same data
structure, you're more likely to get the transformation to be completely
reversible (for valid values).
2) You might need to load this table from a file, or otherwise generate
or check it on the fly. Tough to do that with separate function statements.
