Challenge Task 1 of 1 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 args
val = unpacker('Python', 'rocks!')

6,239 PointsYou should atleast make an attempt of solving it before going stright to the community. A good pointer is to move the values to the return statement. It should look like this - return ('Python', ' rocks!'). From there you should look into Steven's suggestion from earlier. Happy coding mate.

This worked and I didn't need to put in the print function

21,518 Pointsthis was my answer thanks a lot guys you are so patient,
def unpacker(*args): return args val = unpacker('Python', 'rocks!') val1 = "Python" val2 = "rocks!"

21,518 Pointsthank you guys you helped me a lot, i was not referencing correctly to the second value rocks!, i was doing an error, i was leaving out the '!' like val2 = rocks instead of val2 = rocks!

val = ("Python", "rocks!")
