To pack multiple variables, you need to use the `*` **iterable unpacking operator**. Simply place an asterisk `*` before the variable, and it will pack any number of variables. Packing a variable is only possible within a **tuple** or a **list**.

``` python
a, b, *c = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 # a = 1, b= 2, c = [3, 4, 5]
a, *b, c = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 # a = 1, b = [2, 3, 4], c = 5
a, b, *c = 1, 2 # a = 1, b = 2, c = []
*a, b = 1, 2, 3 # a = [1, 2], b = 3

*a, = 1, 2, 3 # a = [1, 2, 3]
(*a,) = 1, 2, 3 # a = [1, 2, 3]
[*a] = 1, 2, 3 # a = [1, 2, 3]
*a = 1, 2, 3 # SyntaxError: starred assignment target must be in a list or tuple
```

But the SyntaxError will occur if to use more than one unpacking operator.

Can you use more than one iterable unpacking operator in a single expression?

In this course, you will learn advanced topics such as function arguments, iterators, generators, closures, and decorators. Dozens of practice exercises will help you grasp these topics.

You'll find this topic enjoyable, and you'll learn how to pack and unpack values in a single assignment.

Explore the power of Python's function arguments, *args, **kwargs, and learn how to effectively use functions as arguments.

Discover the higher-order functions and how functions can be passed as arguments to other functions in programming.

What is variable scope, and how did we manage without it before? This topic is essential for understanding the following subjects: Closures and Decorators. I assure you that this topic will be both enjoyable and practical. You will gain knowledge about local, nonlocal, and global variables.

This section provides an in-depth exploration of Python decorators, a powerful feature that allows for the modification and enhancement of function behavior. Participants will learn how to write their own decorators, understand built-in decorators, and apply decorators in practical scenarios.
