In Python, you can assign values to variables in several ways — from simple single assignments to assigning multiple values simultaneously.

Assigning a single value to a single variable

The most basic form assigns one value to one variable using the = operator.

# Assigning single values
name = "Alice"
age = 25
height = 5.7

• name stores the string "Alice"
• age stores the integer 25
• height stores the float 5.7
• The = operator tells Python to store the right-side value in the left-side variable

Same Value to Multiple Variables

You can assign one value to multiple variables in a single line:

x = y = z = 0

print(x, y, z)  # Output: 0 0 0

All three variables x, y, and z reference the same value 0.

This is perfect for initializing multiple variables with the same starting value before updating them later in your program.

Multiple Values to Multiple Variables

In Python, you can assign several values to several variables in one line:

a, b, c = 10, 20, 30

print(a, b, c)  # Output: 10 20 30

• a stores 10
• b stores 20
• c stores 30

Python automatically matches values to variables in the same order they appear on both sides of the = sign.

This technique is incredibly handy for initializing multiple variables quickly and cleanly in your programs, especially when working with related values.
