How do I create variable variables?
(17 answers)
Closed last year.
a = "Jack"
b = "Sam"
Now I want some way to create this:
c_{b value} = 10
That means:
c_Jack = 10
And the following:
c_{a value} = 20
That means:
c_Sam = 20
This is actually a bad practice to do this. You better to use a dict.
BTW, you can do this:
In [3]: a = "Jack"
In [4]: exec(f'c_{a} = 10')
In [5]: c_Jack
Out[5]: 10

How do I create variable variables?

Closed 1 year ago.
I am attempting to set the value of a variable to incrementally equal that of another variable based on the iteration of the loop I am on.
I have the following code:
no_keywords=3
cat_0='Alpha'
cat_1='Bravo'
cat_2='Charlie'
cat_3='Delta'
for _ in range(no_keywords):
keyword1 = exec(f'cat_{_}')
print(keyword1)
However the printed value just returns a NoneType object. I would like the value of Keyword1 to take on the value of the cat_ variable based on the iteration of loop I am on.
Please can somebody help in explaining in what I am doing wrong and help me recitfy?
Thanks,
D
Try this:
no_keywords = 3
cat_0 = 'Alpha'
cat_1 = 'Bravo'
cat_2 = 'Charlie'
cat_3 = 'Delta'
for _ in range(no_keywords):
keyword1 = None
exec(f'keyword1 = cat_{_}')
print(keyword1)
Seems like exec does not return a value, but you can set your variable within the command passed to it.

How to postpone/defer the evaluation of f-strings?

Let's suppose I get some string and set it to variable - it can't be created as f-string:
str1 = 'date time for {val1} and {val2}'
Then variables inside the string initialized:
val1 = 1
val2 = 77
Calling print(str1) will return 'date time for {val1} and {val2}'. But I would like to get
'date time for 1 and 77'
Is there any function to make a string as a F string? So I want to call something make_F(str1) and get f-string
PS I cant use dict {'val1':1, 'val2':77} with .format because don't know which variables will be needed in the string. I just want magic happen with F-string.
You need:
str1 = 'date time for {val1} and {val2}'
val1 = 1
val2 = 77
print(eval(f"f'{str1}'"))
You first need to describe variables as e.g
var1 = None
var2 = None
Then you can use it with f-string like this:
x = f'print {var1} and {var2}'
print(x)
And thats it, you will get the result.

How do I put a variable’s value inside a string (interpolate it into the string)?

Closed 3 years ago.
coming_monday = today + datetime.timedelta(days=-today.weekday(), weeks=1)
month = coming_monday.strftime("%B")
collection = db['empmain']
record = collection.find_one({'Availablity.<want to pass in the month variable here'})
format of the collection:
enter image description here
This example worked for me:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
mydict = {a : "a_", b : "b_", c : "c_"}
I've declard some variables with some values as above.
>>> mydict[1]
'a_'
>>> mydict[b]
'b_'
I was able to access values in the dictionary using both the variable names or the values.

I am having a function in python
def func(dataFrame,country,sex):
varible_name=dataFrame[(dataFrame['land']==country) & (dataFrame['sex']==sex)]
Now, for example, I call this function
func(dataFrame,'England','M')
I want that variable name be England_M instead of variable_name.
You can't do that in Python.
What you can do instead is store the results under a dictionary with key = England_M for instance.
In your case, you could do the following :
def func(dataFrame,country,sex):
tmp = dataFrame[(dataFrame['land']==country) & (dataFrame['sex']==sex)]
variable_name = "{c}_{s}".format(c=country, s=sex)
return dict(variable_name=tmp)
Now using it :
results = func(dataFrame, "England", "M")
print(results['England_M'])

I'm trying to make python take a string from a list at random and then use that string to determine what variable of the same name to add 1 to. I can't use a dictionary because of how I'm using the variables in other modules.
This is what I have for an example:
import random
item1 = 0
item2 = 0
item3 = 0
items = ("Item1","Item2","Item3")
item = random.choice(items)
#I want it to find the variable of the same name and then add 1 to said variable
#depending on what item is chosen to be "item".
As the comments already mentioned, please don't do that, it's bad practice. You should change the code in your other modules to look for the dictionary, rather than those variables.
But if you really have to, this code goes where your comments are:
exec(item.lower() + ' += 1')
If you can't use dictionary, one option is to use locals setattr:
import random
item1 = 0
item2 = 0
item3 = 0
items = ("Item1","Item2","Item3")
item = random.choice(items)
locals()[item.lower()] += 1
What you could do instead is using a dictionary (associative container) : It works with a key->value system.
Here, the name of your variable will be the key, and the number it holds will be the value.
Something like :
dict = {'Item1': 0, 'Item2': 0, 'Item3': 0}
item = random.choice(dict.keys())
Hope it helps.
