Python: How to Swap Variable values without Intermediary

In Python, you can swap values without defining the intermediary variables. This is possible with a tuple. I have shared a good example of how to do this.

How to Swap Variable in Python.

You can swap values for two variables using a tuple. The prime purpose of a tuple is you can hold multiple values. In this example, those are a and b. Here the tuple accepts two values. When you supply those, it swaps values and gives an output when you print them.

def swap(a, b): 

return b,a 

Example-1 to call the tuple.

i = "Hello world"

j = "This is ApplyBigAnalytics" 

i, j = swap(i, j) 

print(i) 

print(j) 

Example-2 to call the tuple.

i = 1 

j = 2 

i, j = swap(i,j) 

print(i) 

print(j)

The Result is:

This is ApplyBigAnalytics 

Hello world 

2
