在python中使用for循环获取输入

Question

a,b = int(i) for i in input().split()

Can someone explain why the above code doesn't work?

I understand I can use this to make a list like:

a = [int(i) for i in input().split()]

But why doesn't it work for 2 values? If a runtime exception rises(passing more than 2 values), termination is totally legit. But the shows invalid syntax.

Answer 1

I just checked. These are called Generator Functions . And the code can be modified as:

a,b = (int(x) for x in input().split())

Also, a,b = [int(x) for x in input().split()] also does the same job, but instead it return a list. The list is then iterated and is assigned to the variables at python's end. (Correct me if I am wrong)

Thanks to everyone who answered! :D
