I love your channel, because I'm trying to make my understanding better and deeper. I just love how you go through different examples and start slow, then you move up to harder problems.

The * operator can be used to unpack an iterable into separate variables. The ** can be used to unpack a dictionary. But in the case of *args and **kwargs used as function parameters, they are packing and not unpacking. *args takes several positional arguments and packs them into a tuple. **kwargs takes several named parameters and packs them into a dictionary.

Fantastic video! Thank you. I knew a little bit about unpacking operators but not enough to really use them.

This was useful for me, even as someone who has made use of both unpacking operators aplenty.

* unpacking is something that i had no idea of thanks NN!

Thanks, I could have done something else this morning and I wouldn't have wasted it looking for ways to do this if I'd known this was coming out. Python is very powerful but it's sometimes difficult when you don't know what you're looking for or what it may be called
