Difference between args and *args

#1

What is the difference between printing args and *args?
def fun(*args):
print(args)
print(*args)

Hey @Spartan_online, args is just a variable name over here. So if you have a function like this :

def fun(*args):
   print(args)
   print(*args)

and you call this function as :

func('Aayush',1,2,3)

*args would print all the elements that you pass as it is in the output. Whereas args would print all the values as a tuple. That’s why at all times args is used to refer to the tuple values. Tuple is iterable and convenient to print out values and use values.

I hope this helps you understand !
