Unpack a Collection
If you have a collection of values in a list, tuple etc. Python allows you to extract the values into variables. This is called
unpacking.

Example
Unpack a list:

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

x, y, z = fruits
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)

Try it Yourself »

Learn more about unpacking in our Unpack Tuples Chapter.
