Arbitrary Positional Arguments

The * operator collects all the extra positional arguments passed to the function into a tuple. We can use this when we don’t know in advance how many arguments are passed into a function.

def example_function(*vals):     
	print(vals)     
	print(type(vals))  
	
example_function(1, 2, 3, 4)
 
# results in the following output:
(1, 2, 3, 4)
<class 'tuple'>
