understand “*“ and “**“ in Python

No.	category	description	notes
1	operator	* is multiply, ** is square	算数运算, *代表乘法, **代表乘方
2	formal argument	unknown numbers of arguments, * for decoding as tuple, ** for decoding as dict	函数形参，*args 和 **kwargs 主要用于函数定义, 实现将不定数量的参数传递给一个函数
3	actual argument	* for decoding as tuple, ** for decoding as dict	函数实参，如果函数的形参是定长参数，也可以使用 *args 和 **kwargs 调用函数，类似对元组和字典进行解析
4	sequence unpacking	a, b, *c = 0, 1, 2, 3 => a = 0, b = 1, c=[2,3]
