Assign Multiple Variables in a Single Line in Python

Assign Multiple Variables in a Single Line

To assign multiple variables with a single value in a statement in Python, use the following syntax.

variable_1 = variable_2 = variable_3 = value

We can assign any number of variables with a single value.

Examples

In the following program, we take variables for months and assign values of 31 for months with 31 days, 30 for months with 30 days, and 28 for feb. We assign all the months with 31 days in a single statement. Similarly for months with 30 days.

Example.py

jan = mar = may = jul = aug = oct = dec = 31
apr = jun = sep = nov = 30
feb = 28
total = jan + feb + mar + apr + may + jun + jul + aug + sep + oct + nov + dec
print(total)

Output

365

In the following example, we initialize variables a and b with 5 and find their product.

Example.py

a = b = 5
product = a * b
print(product)

Output

25
