Thank you! This makes a little more sense now and my brain broke slightly.

Hey Dan
At first i didn't understand the trick (merging two dictionaries) that appears on your real python website .
But now it's crystal clear
Thank you Dan barder
Expecting more such tricks from real python team .

Great video, thanks! Question: Is it possible to unpack the iterable and, at the same time, apply a function to each of the unpacked elements? For example, I have a list of strings that have trailing whitespaces that I want removed. I was thinking of calling the strip() method on each element as the list is unpacked. I tried different ways but I was not successful, so I ended up using list comprehension. Is something like this possible with the unpacking operator?

Note: basically asterisk(*) operator is the default way of merging two iterables

3:12 I did not expect this. How did this happen? I thought each a, b, and c should have the same values (1...6) as my_list. Could anybody explain to me? Thanks
