Define Variables

Define Variables in Python

Multiple Assignments

Multiple assignments can be made in a single statement.

Example 1

a, b, c = 5, 3.2, "Hello"

print a,b,c

Result

Example 2

If we want to assign the same value to multiple variables at once, we can do this as

x = y = z = "same value"

print x;print y;print z

Result

Variables

Python supports int,float and compile. It also support String,List,Tuple and Dictionary

Example

a=10

b=-10

c=10.00

d=10.9098

e=-10.98

print a,b,c,d,e

String

Example

a_string=”hello”

print a_string     # output hello

List

A list contains items separated by commas and enclosed within square brackets ([]).

Example

a_list=[‘a’,’b’,’c’]

print a_list[0] # output a

Tuple

It is readonly. Same as  list contains items separated by commas and enclosed within ().

Example

a_tuple=('a','b','c')

print a_tuple[1]

Dictionary

 It is used to define data records. Dictionaries are enclosed by curly braces ({ }) and values are accessed using square braces ([]).

Example

employeetable = {'name': 'kumar','empcode':'a01', 'dept': 'sales'}

print employeetable.keys()[2],employeetable.values()[2]

name=(['arun','sharma','arvind'],['sunil','ashok'])

print name[1]

print name[1][1]

Result
