Reset a variable - mln4python - Aug-19-2019

Hi all,

Is there any way to reset a variable value without using classes ?

For example, I initialize a variable to -999 and then do some calculations. In the middle of the program, I want to reset its value back to -999 (initialized value). Is this possible, preferably without using classes ?

Thanks in advance !

what about just value = -999? That is assuming your variable is value

Hi buran,

Thanks for the reply. Little more details on what I want to do...

value = -999
... # some other code
a = b + c
... # some other calculations
value = a + (x * y)
... # some other calculations
value.reset() # this should set value = -999 again
# OR
reset(value) # this should set value = -999 again

value = -999
... # some other code
a = b + c
... # some other calculations
value = a + (x * y)
... # some other calculations
value = -999 # this set value = -999 again

Thanks buran !

In fact, I need to generate python code like above, using my python script (basically converting other language code into python). I think better I use dictionaries to store these values and assign the respective values when I need to generate code for "reset". Thanks for your help again !
