Viewing all defined variables

Question

I'm currently working on computation in python shell. What I want to have is Matlab style list out where you can see all the variables that have been defined up to a point (so I know which names I've used, their values and such).

Is there a way, and how can I do that?

Answer 1

If you want to View all defined variables you can use the below-mentioned way:

• You can use dir()  function it will give you the list of in-scope variables:

• You have another option of using globals() which will give you a dictionary of global variables

• The third option you have is to use locals() function which will give you a dictionary of local variables
