I just found something weird in the Python interpreter. Let me show you:
$ python
Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:13:53)
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> _
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name '_' is not defined
>>> 5 + 4
9
>>> _
9
>>> 'Hello world'
'Hello world'
>>> _
'Hello world'
>>> type(3.5)
<type 'float'>
>>> _
<type 'float'>
You can try this in your interpreter; there are no tricks at work here!
Is the result of the last executed line being assigned to a variable named _?
Does anybody know something about it? Is there any documentation about it? In which situation could it be useful?
回答1:
Take a look here Reserved identifiers python.
The special identifier _ is used in the interactive interpreter to store the result of the last evaluation; it is stored in the builtin module.
This behavior can be found on haskell's interactive environment ghci also. Here instead of _ use it.
Prelude> 2+2
4
Prelude> it
4
回答2:
It's useful when exploring in the interactive interpreter, when you forgot to assign a name to some returned object, you can grab a reference to it using x = _. Note that in ipython you also have __ for the second-to-last returned, and ___ is the third-to-last.
回答3:
This isn't a big secret (for example, you can find it mentioned in Code Like a Pythonista) but true, it's not well known. It could be useful when you're doing a lot of work at the command line.
回答4:
Per What is the purpose of the single underscore "_" variable in Python?
There are three main uses for _. One is "real" (the usage you discovered), and the other two are conventions.
Interesting... I never knew!
