Hi, I am complete beginner. Plz can anybody tell me wat does the star (or pointer !!?) before c signifies in the following code?

Question

a,b,*c =[1,2,3,4]

output:
a=1
b=2
c=[3,4]

does (*) is for pointing list here ? I am not sure.

Answer 1

It's the unpacking operator here - see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6967632/unpacking-extended-unpacking-and-nested-extended-unpacking

Answer 2

yeah (*) is representing list here in your example
a, b, *c=[1,2,3,4]
so when you print(a)=>1
print(b)=>3
print(c)=>[3,4]=> because (*) sign represents list so remaining element is located in c

// and only one 🌟 sign can be use in a instruction
