How pipe the output of for loop into another variable

Question

I have the following code:

for {for loop assertion }:
    if (a) > 0 and b > 0:
        print('same')
    elif (a) < 0 and b < 0:
        print('same')
    else:
        print('different')

This produces a list like this:

different
different
same
different
same
different
same
different
different
same
different
different
different
different
different
same

What I want to do is save this to another variable. Could you please advise how I can accomplish that?

While what you want to do literally is possible, is there a reason you're using print? You could just directly append into a list instead. — Carcigenicate

You haven't created a list at all. You've simply printed stuff the the standard output device. You need to learn to use data structures like list objects and dict objects to organize your code — juanpa.arrivillaga

@VPfB you don't have to use elifs over ifs you could have 7 if statements and that would still be fine — NewtonL

Try this, it should work, if not tell me why:

lst = []
for {for loop assertion }:
        if (a) > 0 and b > 0:
            lst += ["same"]
        if (a) < 0 and b < 0:
            lst += ["same"]
        else:
            lst += ["different"]

or you could do:

    lst = []
    for {for loop assertion }:
            if (a) > 0 and b > 0:
                lst.append("same")
            if (a) < 0 and b < 0:
                lst.append("same")
            else:
                lst.append("different")
