# Exercise 7.1: A simple example of variable arguments
> Source: Practical Python Programming, `07_Advanced_Topics/01_Variable_arguments.md`.
### Exercise 7.1: A simple example of variable arguments
Try defining the following function:
```python
>>> def avg(x,*more):
return float(x+sum(more))/(1+len(more))
>>> avg(10,11)
10.5
>>> avg(3,4,5)
4.0
>>> avg(1,2,3,4,5,6)
3.5
>>>
```
Notice how the parameter `*more` collects all of the extra arguments.
