Question

My python code has a class from which instantiates objects representing countries. The class has a constructor.

class Country:
    def __init__(self, population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity):
        self.population = population
        self.literacy = literacy
        self.firms = firms
        self.area = area
        self.populationDensity = populationDensity

Is there a way to make this code more concise? Here is the pseudocode for what I am seeking.

class Country:
    def __init__(self, population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity):
        # assign object these properties in one line

Thank you.

Answer 1

You can do this in one line, but it will only make the code more difficult to read and follow. Here is how you would do it.

class Country:
    def __init__(self, population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity):
        (self.population, self.literacy, self.firms, self.area, self.populationDensity) = (population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity)
