Dear list, from Guido's tutorial:
It is possible to assign the result of a comparison or other Boolean expression to a variable. For example, >>> string1, string2, string3 = '', 'Trondheim', 'Hammer Dance' >>> non_null = string1 or string2 or string3 >>> non_null 'Trondheim' How does this work?? How does Python know that we are looking for non_null? After all, we don't provide this information here, right? (I take non_null is a variable.) I must be missing something... Can anyone help? Many thanks, Guba _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
