Python Variables – Multiple Value Assignment

Many Values to Multiple Variables

In Python, you can assign multiple values in a single line. Here are a few methods.

a, b, c = "code", "with", "ronny"

print(a) #code
print(b) #with
print(c) #ronny

One Value to Multiple Variables

In Python, you can assign one values to multiple variables in a single line. Here are a few methods.

a = b = c = "code"

print(a) #code
print(b) #code
print(c)#code

Unpacking

Assigning all the value into variables is called unpacking. There is alots of methods

Method 1: Unpacking Using Lists

# Using a list
values = [10, 20, 30]
a, b, c = values


print(a) #10
print(b) #20
print(c) #30

Method 2: Unpacking Using Tuples

# Using a tuple
values = (40, 50, 60)
a, b, c = values


print(a) #40
print(b) #50
print(c) #60

Method 3: Unpacking Using the Asterisk * (Splat) Operator

# Using the splat operator to gather values into a list
values = [100, 110, 120]
x = [*values]

print(x) #[100, 110, 120]

# Using the splat operator to gather values into a list
values = [100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170]
x, *y, z = values

print(x) #100
print(*y) #110 120 130 140 150 160
print(z) #170

# Using the splat operator to gather values into a list
values = [100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170]
x, y, *z = values

print(x) #100
print(y) #110 
print(z) #120 130 140 150 160 170
