11.3. For Unpack
11.3.1. Recap
for user in users:
Unpacking:
>>> a, b = 1, 2
>>> a, b = (1, 2)
>>> k, v = (1, 2)
>>> key, value = (1, 2)
>>> firstname, lastname = ('Mark', 'Watney')
11.3.2. Problem
>>> DATA = [
... ('Mark', 'Watney'),
... ('Melissa', 'Lewis'),
... ('Rick', 'Martinez'),
... ]
>>>
>>> for user in DATA:
... firstname = user[0]
... lastname = user[1]
... print(f'{firstname=}, {lastname=}')
...
firstname='Mark', lastname='Watney'
firstname='Melissa', lastname='Lewis'
firstname='Rick', lastname='Martinez'
11.3.3. Solution
>>> DATA = [
... ('Mark', 'Watney'),
... ('Melissa', 'Lewis'),
... ('Rick', 'Martinez'),
... ]
>>>
>>> for firstname, lastname in DATA:
... print(f'{firstname=}, {lastname=}')
...
firstname='Mark', lastname='Watney'
firstname='Melissa', lastname='Lewis'
firstname='Rick', lastname='Martinez'
11.3.4. List of Tuples
>>> DATA = [
... (5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2, 'setosa'),
... (5.7, 2.8, 4.1, 1.3, 'versicolor'),
... (6.3, 2.9, 5.6, 1.8, 'virginica'),
... ]
>>>
>>> for sl, sw, pl, pw, species in DATA:
... print(f'{species} -> {sl}')
setosa -> 5.1
versicolor -> 5.7
virginica -> 6.3
11.3.5. List of Sequences
>>> DATA = [
... (1, 2),
... ('mwatney', 'Mark Watney'),
... ('groups', ['users', 'staff', 'admins']),
... (['mwatney@nasa.gov', 'mwatney@gmail.com'], 'emails'),
... (('Mark', 'Watney'), [40, 175, 75.5]),
... ]
>>>
>>> for first, second in DATA:
... print(f'{first} -> {second}')
1 -> 2
mwatney -> Mark Watney
groups -> ['users', 'staff', 'admins']
['mwatney@nasa.gov', 'mwatney@gmail.com'] -> emails
('Mark', 'Watney') -> [40, 175, 75.5]
