I have function that at some point has list of strings (e.g. {"apple","pear"}) and I want to declare (initialize) those variables in notebook namespace to default value (e.g. 0) so I could execute in next cell
apple+pear
It is important that it is done this way - I don't want return from function. (I'm automatically importing variable names and values from Python)
(Evaluate[Symbol[#]] = 0) & /@ {"apple", "pear"}? if so there is a duplicate, I just can't find it. – Kuba Apr 27 '15 at 22:33
