How to determine the number of arguments passed to function?

Question

I have a function that takes a variable number of arguments. I would like (in the function) get the number passed. The declaration looks like this:

def function(*args):

The function is called as follows:

function(arg1, arg2, ...)

Answer 1

You can define the function as follows to get the values of the arguments:

def function(*args):
   for i in range(len(args)):
      print(args[i])

function(3, 5, 8)

Here is the result:

3
5
8

That is, args[i] receives the value of the i-th parameter passed to function.
