php how to use an array to simplify code

Question

I have the following piece of php code:

<?php 
if(get_theme_mod('typography_setting')=='small') 
{
  echo '12';
} 
else if(get_theme_mod('typography_setting')=='standard') 
{
  echo '13';
} 
else if(get_theme_mod('typography_setting')=='big') 
{
  echo '14';
} 
else if(get_theme_mod('typography_setting')=='huge') 
{
  echo '15';
}
?>

Essentially saying, if typography setting is small echo 12, standard - echo 13, big - echo 14, huge - echo 15.

I know this code works fine, but I'm wanting to learn about using arrays and I'm wondering if this code can be simplified by using an array?

as per your condition it should be switch case

Not rocket science:

$font_sizes = array(
    'small' => 12,
    'standard' => 13,
    ...
);

$size = get_theme_mod('typography_setting');
if( isset($font_sizes[$size]) ){
    echo $font_sizes[$size];
}

You can also enhance your code with a more profuse use of the Enter key.
