Ignore python multiple return value

Question

Say I have a Python function that returns multiple values in a tuple:

def func():

   return 1, 2

Is there a nice way to ignore one of the results rather than just assigning to a temporary variable? Say if I was only interested in the first value, is there a better way than this:

x, temp = func()

Answer 1

To Ignore python multiple return value you can use the  "_" as a variable name for the elements of the tuple.

You can see the below-mentioned code for the same:-

def f():

return 5, 4, 9

_, _, a = f()
