How to give multiple integers as input to the function in the below code?

Question

This is the code :
def function(named_arg, *args):
print(named_arg)
print(args)

function(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

I don't want to use the same values as arguments,
Instead I want to give multiple integers as arguments by taking input.
And also I would to test it with strings.

Can someone explain how to do this?

Answer 1

Sai Krishna,
I have tried passing a `list`, `tuple`, `set` and `dict` to the function, and in each try the argument given was assigned into <named_arg>; <args> gets an empty tuple no matter what.

The only way I could imitate the behaviour was by slicing the argument (only `list` and `tuple` supports it) like this

data = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ]
function( data[ 0 ], *data[ 1 : ] )

But I don't think this was what you after ...

Answer 2

Are the multiple integers for both <named_arg> and <args> or one of them?

Can you describe your goal in brief? it might help others to understand the problem and focus on the the relevant feedbacks ...

Answer 3

I want to 1 integer as input to named_arg and the remaining integers as input to *args
