Unpacking Values from a Tuple

Snippet

Tuple unpacking allows you to assign each item in a tuple (or list) to a separate variable in one single line of code.

snippet.py
python
coordinates = (5, 12)
x, y = coordinates
print(x)
print(y)

Breakdown

coordinates = (5, 12)

Creates a tuple containing two integers.

x, y = coordinates

Assigns the first value to x and the second value to y simultaneously.
