,=35

?=37
it will treat them like variables

Answer 1

You can't do that, because there are rules for how variables can be made up and how not.

What you can do:

Create a dictionary and use them as pseudo variables.

d = {}
d['*'] = 42
d['<'] = 9

etc.

Answer 2

What I mean is:

Instead of variable names, you access string keys in a dictionary.

Since strings can be anything, you're not limited like you would be with variables.

Answer 3

Do you mean you want to assign to symbols?

Like instead of...

x = 42

... you'd for example write...

< = 42

?

Answer 4

Make a dict like this dict = { "1":"one"}

Answer 5

exactly

Answer 6
