Packing & Unpacking in python

# we can unpack iterables to variables in a single assignment using automatic unpacking. Below is an example of unpacking:

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

print(a) 
print(b)
print(c)

"""
1
2
3
"""

# we can also collect several values into a single variable using * this Python trick is called packing. Below is an example of packing:

a, b* = 1, 2, 3

print(a, b)

"""
1 [2, 3]
"""?
