I think OP's original example uses the conditions == 0, > 0 and < 0, so a hash table wouldn't work for 2 or -2.
== 0
> 0
< 0
2
-2
I think if you look closer, you'll see that my solution is equivalent in output to the OP's example.
Here's a nastier one (also with a py3 equivalent)
# python2 def really_silly(bar): return ["MAYBE","YES","NO"][cmp(bar,0)] # python3 def extremely_silly(bar): return ["MAYBE","YES","NO"][(bar>0)-(bar<0)]
God, I love how awful python can get sometimes!
