(please imagine it's in a fixed font with everything neatly vertically
aligned).
This has see-at-a-glance STRUCTURE: the letters are aligned vertically
and the "subscripts" horizontally. Write it as 9 lines and it becomes
an amorphous mess in which mistakes are harder to spot.
I agree that writing it as 9 lines is an accident waiting to happen, but
if you must see that structure, then go all in:
(x1, y1, z1) = (43, 3, 10)
(x2, y2, z2) = (41, 12, 9)
(x3, y3, z3) = ( 8, 8, 10)
Agreed, that is even easier to read. (It would be kinda nice if the
compiler could optimise the tuples away, for those of us who are
paranoid about performance.)
Or even:
((x1, y1, z1)
(x2, y2, z2)
(x3, y3, z3)) = ((43, 3, 10)
(41, 12, 9)
( 8, 8, 10))
Or not. YMMV. I guess this doesn't come up enough in my own code to
worry about it.
