How to assign each element of a list to a separate variable?

Question

if I have a list, say:

ll = [\'xx\',\'yy\',\'zz\']

and I want to assign each element of this list to a separate variable:

v         


        

Answer 1

generally speaking it is not suggested to use that kind of programming for a large number of list elements / variables.

However the following statement works fine and as expected

a,b,c = [1,2,3]

This is called "destructuring".

it could save you some lines of code in some cases, e.g. I have a,b,c as integers and want their string values as sa,sb,sc:

sa, sb,sc = [str(e) for e in [a,b,c]]

or, even better

sa, sb,sc = map(str, (a,b,c) )
