Unpacking a sequence into separate variables

unpacking_sequence.py

# comma_separated_variables = sequence

# given a data in the form of list
data = ['Ravi', 21, (1996, 12, 5)]

# extract name, age, dob from data
name, age, dob = data

print(name) # Ravi
print(age) # 21
print(dob) # (1996, 12, 5)

# It works with any sequence eg.

s = 'hello'
a, b, _, c, d = s
print(b) # e
