Question

numbers = (1, 2, 3)
a, b, c = numbers
print(a)
print(b)
print(c)

How do I take the unpacking inputs? I tried this way:

a, b, c = int(input("enter the numbers: "))
print(a)
print(b)
print(c)

The error was:

TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable int object

Answer 1

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

Input example (separated by space):
1 2 3

Answer 2

an other possibility would be:

a, b, c = map(int, input("enter the numbers: ").split())

Both versions will raise an exception if too less or to many values come from the input. (3 variables need exactly 3 separated input values). This can be covered with try: - except: block.
