Unpacker value starts from index 1 not zero.

Hey, if I assigned same variable name to two different element "var" value is start from index 1 (means it prints 2 not 1) why...? Please see below the function sample:

def unpacker(): return (1, 2)

var, var = unpacker() print(var)

Answer = 2 ( it should be 1 isn't it.)

No is not, because the last variable been assigned to value of (2).

if you want to get one you should reverse the order of return values.
