In Python, the single-asterisk form of *args can be used as a parameter to send a non-keyworded variable-length argument list to functions. It is seen that the asterisk (*) is important here, and along with the word args it means there is a variable length list of non-keyworded arguments.
Example
def multiply(*args): y = 1 for num in args: y *= num print(y) multiply(3, 7) multiply(9, 8) multiply(3, 4, 7) multiply(5, 6, 10, 8)
Output
21 72 84 2400
