Edit the variable assignment under the provided function so that the tuple returned from the function call is unpacked into 2 variables, val1, val2
def unpacker(*args):
return
val = unpacker('Python', 'rocks!')

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsHey Robert Popescu, you’ve changed the original code a bit. The function returns args
. Looking at how tuples can be packed and unpacked:
>>> def unpacker(*args):
... return args
...
>>> # given
>>> val = ('Python', 'rocks!')
>>> val
('Python', 'rocks!')
>>> # the tuple can be unpacked as
>>> val1, val2 = val
>>> val1
'Python'
>>> val2
'rocks!'
The same can be done with the returned value from the function call unpacker('Python', 'rocks!')
. That is, the result can be assigned to val1, val2
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
