HI Saranya, If i didn't misunderstood, would you like to make use of inbuilt special variables to get hostname as - inventory_hostname, inventory_hostname_short which directly gives you hostname value and it can be stored in variable or printed using debug module.
PS :- You can also make use of facts to get hostname -> parse it -> store value in variable.
