9,273 PointsI'm having an issue with unpacking.
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!')

val1, val2 = unpacker('Python', 'rocks!')
