Hi, I'm studying GDscript but I don't understand the "match statement" meaning. What is it? Do you know in italian a good tutorial? Thank you

Gingione It's just a more elegant syntax for a series of if/else statements. You don't really need a "tutorial" for something as basic as this. It's well explained in the documentation.

So this:

match a:
	1:
		print ("a is 1")
	2:
		print ("a is 2")
	3:
		print ("a is 3")

is equivalent to this:

if a == 1:
	print ("a is 1")
elif a == 2:
	print ("a is 2")
elif a == 3:
	print ("a is 3")

The documentation is written in simple language. In case of any difficulty, an obscure piece can be translated with the help of DeepL. It is much better than Google.

It's the equivalent of what in many other languages is called a switch statement.
