Comment on Python Multiple Assignment Is a Puzzleparent

Comments

HN is not really for code review, but why are you using try and except here??

Python is designed for it, and it makes it cleaner, so why not?

That being said, just a blanket except is a bad idea.

Thanks for the ValueError tip. I added it as well as a TypeError just in case the input comes in as a string. My skills are beginner level at best, tips like yours help a lot!
