Why?

#I think those two(2) code are the same; right? #but why the result goes different? a = 0 b = 1 for i in range(10): print(a) a,b = b,a+b #Line break print(""" """) c = 0 d = 1 for i in range(10): print(c) c = d d = c+d

No it's not right 😉 In the first case, the tuple is unpacked a = 0 b = 1 for i in range(10): print(a) # 1 0 1 a,b = b,a+b #Line break print(""" """) c = 0 d = 1 for i in range(10): print(c) c = d # 1 1 d = c+d #Line break print(""" """) tuple = 0,1 for _ in range(10): print(tuple[0]) tuple = tuple[1], tuple[0]+tuple[1]

In the first one the value of a in a+b is the one before the assignment. The assignments happen at the same time, I'm guessing. (the guess part is: I don't know if I'm allowed to call a, b = b, a+b a tuple, but it works like a tuple, the old values are used) In the second one, c in c+d is the new c value. The order of assignment is changed.

IbrahimCPS a,b = b,a is a quick pythonic way to swap the values of 2 variables. As you loop through the first code, the value growth of a is being inhibited because it keeps getting re-assigned the value of b In your second code, the values of c & d are not swapping back & forth during the iterations, so c can grow at a steady exponential rate
