Test your knowledge: Python Iterable Unpacking

Review

1. What happens with a, b = [1, 2]?

   A regular target list matches items one-for-one from left to right.
2. What exception does a, b = [1, 2, 3] raise?

   A regular unpacking assignment raises ValueError when the iterable has too few or too many items.
3. After first, *rest = [10, 20, 30], what is rest?

   The first target receives 10 and the starred target receives the remaining values as [20, 30].
4. Which assignment matches ("Ada", 10)?

   The nested pair has exactly two items, so name and score receive them from left to right.
5. Which statement swaps left and right without a temporary variable?

   Multiple-target assignment evaluates the right-hand side before assigning the targets, so the two values can be swapped directly.
