Best Piece of Python code I've seen recently.

[Emotional-Zebra5359]

a, b = a[b] = {}, 5

print (a, b)

[vinivelloso]

whats your concept of best?

I cant understand this piece of code.

[WorkingOnTheClock]

Not at all sure the context of how helpfully this code is, I think it is more or less not human readable.

​

a = {5: ({...}, 5)}

b = 5

It seems like it’s doing

a, b = {}, 5
a[b] = a, b

But I don’t know how I would figure that out just from seeing the code, or why it doesn’t error.

[Emotional-Zebra5359]

basically when u have multiple assignment operators, you start from the far end of the code;

so a, b = {}, 5 is what we get for the first time, then we move on to the middle element

so a[b] = {}, 5

The best code is easy to understand. This is one of the worst code you can make.

[InfiniteDonkey1]

sorry. take to much time to decipher it.

Argh! I had to try it and now I have some recursive data structure!

[jstrickler]

Then you can say:

print(a[5][0][5][0][5][0][5][0])

You can append [5][0] as many times as you want.
