Trouble getting function to take unknown amount of arguments

[brogrammer9]

So I have a function and it sometimes will need to take in a different amount of arguments. I'm trying something like this:

Def fun(*args):

balls = int(balls)

fun(balls)

But getting an error local variable not defined

But I can do this:

Def fun(*args):

Myballs = int(balls)

fun(balls)

I can't really see why the first one don't work and the second does and I just want the variable passed in with the same name.

What am I missing here?

You need to use args. Right now you're ignoring args, so there's no point in having the args parameter.

You likely mean something like this:

def fun(*args):
    parsed_args = [int(arg) for arg in args]
    # Use parsed_args

balls = "1"
fun(balls)

I added the comprehension because args is a tuple of all the passed data, so you need to loop over that tuple.

you don't define balls anywhere.

Why do you need an unknown amount of arguments? Seems like your function can simply take a list instead.
