Python program to create dynamically named variables from user input
Given a string input, the task is to write a Python program to create a variable from that input (as a variable name) and to assign it some value. Below are the methods to create dynamically named variables from user input:
Method 1: Using globals() method.

Python3
# Dynamic_Variable_Name can be# anything the user wantsDynamic_Variable_Name = "geek"# The value 2020 is assigned# to "geek" variableglobals()[Dynamic_Variable_Name] = 2020# Display variableprint(geek) |
Output:
2020
Method 2: Using locals() method.
Python3
# Dynamic_Variable_Name can be# anything the user wants.Dynamic_Variable_Name = "geek"# The value 2020 is assigned# to "geek" variablelocals()[Dynamic_Variable_Name] = 2020# Display variableprint(geek) |
Output:
2020
Method 3: Using exec() method.
Python3
# Dynamic_Variable_Name can be# anything the user wants.Dynamic_Variable_Name = "geek"# The value 2020 is assigned# to "geek" variableexec("%s = %d" % (Dynamic_Variable_Name, 2020))# Display variableprint(geek) |
Output:
2020
Method 4: Using vars() method
Python3
# Dynamic_Variable_Name can be# anything the user wants.Dynamic_Variable_Name = "geek"# The value 2020 is assigned# to "geek" variablevars()[Dynamic_Variable_Name] = 2020# Display variableprint(geek) |
Output:
2020
