[FIXED] How to assign the output of a function running through a list to a variable?

Issue

Say I have a function, denoted by Show, that runs by accessing points in a list. Is it then possible to assign each outcome from the function to a variable? Is it possible for the variable to be defined by dfi so the outputs would be df1, df2, df3, ect... for a long as defined by count?

count = 5
for i in range(0, count):
    d = Show(list[i])

Solution

You can do this using a dict by storing variables as keys. A sample could be like this:

count = 5
dic = {}
for i in range(count):
  #create key, that would be the variable
  k = "df{}".format(i)
  dic[k] = show(list[i])

And now you can use dict to fetch and use the variables in O(1) which would be same as if you have defined the variables explicitly and stored them.
