1. What Does \u201cAssign Multiple Values\u201d Mean?<\/h2>\n

Normally, we assign one value to one variable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
a = 10<\/span>
\n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But Python also allows us to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Assign many values to many variables<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Assign one value to many variables<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This is called assigning multiple values<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    2. Assigning Many Values to Many Variables<\/h2>\n

    You can give different values to different variables in one line<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Example<\/h3>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    a, b, c = 10<\/span>, 20<\/span>, 30<\/span>
    \nprint<\/span>(a)
    \nprint<\/span>(b)
    \nprint<\/span>(c)
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Output:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    10
    \n20
    \n30
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Here:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      a<\/code> gets 10<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      b<\/code> gets 20<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      c<\/code> gets 30<\/code><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \ud83d\udc49 The number of variables and values must be the same<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      3. Assigning One Value to Many Variables<\/h2>\n

      You can give the same value<\/strong> to many variables.<\/p>\n

      Example<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      x = y = z = 100<\/span>
      \nprint<\/span>(x)
      \nprint<\/span>(y)
      \nprint<\/span>(z)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Output:<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      100
      \n100
      \n100
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      All variables store the same value<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      4. Assigning Values from a List<\/h2>\n

      You can also assign values from a list.<\/p>\n

      Example<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      colors = [\"red\"<\/span>, \"green\"<\/span>, \"blue\"<\/span>]
      \na, b, c = colors<\/code><\/code>print<\/span>(a)
      \nprint<\/span>(b)
      \nprint<\/span>(c)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Output:<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      red
      \ngreen
      \nblue
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      5. Swapping Values Using Multiple Assignment<\/h2>\n

      Python makes swapping values very easy.<\/p>\n

      Example<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      a = 5<\/span>
      \nb = 10<\/span><\/code><\/code>a, b = b, a<\/p>\n

      <\/code><\/code>print<\/span>(a)
      \nprint<\/span>(b)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Output:<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      10
      \n5
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \ud83d\udc49 No extra variable needed.<\/p>\n

      6. Common Beginner Mistakes<\/h2>\n

      \u274c Different Number of Values<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      a, b = 10<\/span>, 20<\/span>, 30<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \u274c Error because variables are less<\/strong> than values.<\/p>\n

      \u2714 Correct Way<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      a, b, c = 10<\/span>, 20<\/span>, 30<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \u274c Forgetting Commas<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      a b c = 1<\/span> 2<\/span> 3<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      \u2714 Correct:<\/p>\n

      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      a, b, c = 1<\/span>, 2<\/span>, 3<\/span>
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      7. Simple Practice Examples<\/h2>\n

      Example 1: Student Marks<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      math, science, english = 80<\/span>, 75<\/span>, 90<\/span>
      \nprint<\/span>(math)
      \nprint<\/span>(science)
      \nprint<\/span>(english)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Example 2: Same Value Assignment<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      count1 = count2 = count3 = 0<\/span>
      \nprint<\/span>(count1, count2, count3)
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Example 3: Swap Two Numbers<\/h3>\n
      \n
      \n
      \n
      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      x = 100<\/span>
      \ny = 200<\/span><\/code><\/code>x, y = y, x
      \nprint<\/span>(x, y)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      8. Summary (Assign Multiple Values)<\/h2>\n

      \u2714 Python allows multiple assignment
      \u2714 Many variables can get many values
      \u2714 One value can be shared by many variables
      \u2714 Swapping values is easy
      \u2714 Commas are very important<\/p>\n
