why using *args? /u/ConsistentEnd9423 Python Education

today i have learned about *args.

the term was that it is used in a function if i don’t know the number of arguments i would have.

but i just don’t understand what is the different between args , and if i create a function without parameters at all ?

collecting data? i can just create an empty list and keep adding the user inputs into it and print whenever he want….

to me it look like that:

if i dont know the number of arguments :

def the_fuck_is_args():

if i do know the number of arguments:

def why_args_alive(list1,list2)

so what’s the point of:

def who_let_the_args_out(ohoh,*args)

chatgpt made it even worse for me , I’m 80% more confused then before

thanks guys!
