Hi,
I am trying to set the return value from a function to a name which I
grab from the for loop. I can't work out how I can do this without
using an if statement...
for f in var1_fn, var2_fn, var3_fn:
if f.split('.')[0] == 'var1':
var1 = call_some_function(f)
.
.
.
etc
Really I would like to remove the need for this if loop and I am sure
there is a simple way I am missing?
It's a little hard to tell what you actually want from your description,
but it looks like you're fighting the language unnecessarily here. If
you have a sequence of functions that you want a sequence of results
out of, you should be thinking in terms of a sequence type. A list,
in other words.
results = []
for f in fn1, fn2, fn3:
results.append(f())
