Unpacking variable length list returned from function

Question

Ok so I\'m defining a function that takes a variable number of inputs and clamps each of them

def clamp(*args):
    return [ max(min(arg, 0.8), 0.2) for arg in a         


        

Answer 1

def clamp(*args):
    rt = [max(min(arg, 0.8), 0.2) for arg in args]
    return rt if len(rt) > 1 else rt[0]

or else, remember how you make a tuple of one element. Put a comma after A to force unpack for a single variable.

A, = clamp(0.12) # with your old function which always returns list
