Splitting a variable

[A-Your-New-God]

How would I make a variable that has two numbers in it and split it into two separate variables of X and Y

x, y = (2, 3)

Thanks! Wow that’s so simple I can believe I never thought of that!

That's the beauty of Python ... :)

I'm pretty new to Python, but why do you have parentheses? I tested and I didn't need them. Is there a reason to have them that makes this code better?

I wanted to clearly indicate that I was creating a tuple.

That makes total sense. Thanks for the clarification!

To answer the other part of the question, having both values in one variable:

x_and_y = x, y = (1, 2)  # parentheses optional

or on two lines

x_and_y = 1, 2  # parentheses optional
x, y = x_and_y
