A new method of declaring and editing variables in python.

Pointers in Python

This module is a new method of assigning variables in python.

The most popular languages that have pointers are C and C++, pointers allow a variable to be change by altering the memory address of the variable.

C Pointers

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
	int num = 10;
	//declaring and initializing the pointer
	int *ptr = &num;

	printf("value of num: %d\n", num);
	printf("value of num: (using pointer): %d\n", *ptr);

	//updating the value
	*ptr = 20;

	printf("value of num: %d\n", num);
	printf("value of num (using pointer): %d\n", *ptr);

	return 0;
}


 

Overview

In python, there has been one standard way of declaring a variable and no way of editing the varibale name. The transvar package/algorithm introduces a more efficient way of declaring variables and editing variable name, and gives methods which can be used for large scale programs & projects.

name = 'teddy'
temp = '{}_'.format(name) # Adds _ at the end of the name variable ( teddy )
name = temp 

Implementation

import modules

from transvarpy import transdict
from transvarpy import transfile
from transvarpy import transindv

Basic Implementation

newvar = transvar('name','teddy')
newvar.init(globals())
print(name)

name gets created as a variable with the value name as teddy

>>> teddy

Dictionary Implementation

Rather than creating 10 different variables, create a dictionay object, insert the variable name as the key and the content as what you want the variable name to be equals to.

mydict = {
	'name':'teddy',
	'major':'cs',
	'language': 'English',
	'laptop':'Mac',
	'phone': 'Iphone',
	'class':'calc 1',
	'address':'est drive',
	'age':'5',
	'food':'burger',
	'car':'ford'
	}
for key,content in mydict.items():
	transindv(key,content).init(globals())

OR

mydict = {
	'name':'teddy',
	'major':'cs',
	'language': 'English',
	'laptop':'Mac',
	'phone': 'Iphone',
	'class':'calc 1',
	'address':'est drive',
	'age':'5',
	'food':'burger',
	'car':'ford'
	}
 transdict(mydict).init(globals())

10 different variables have been created ( name,major,language,laptop,phone,class,address,age,food and car. and when you call the variable name, it prints what has been assigned to it.

 
print(car)

Output

 
>>> ford

Files Implementation

Setup File example

SETUP.txt

name = severin
age = 10
class = grade10
date = avery

 
 transfile('SETUP.txt').init(globals())
 print(class)
 

Output

 
>>> grade10
