How to compare two parameters in a function that has *args?

[Milan]

Hello team,

I have the following function

import string
import random

def check_input(*args):
    length = args[0]
    while length <= 0:
        length = int(input("[!] Please insert a positive integer: "))
    number = args[1]
    while length < number:
        number = int(input("[!] Please insert a positive integer: "))


check_input(-1)
check_input(5)

I would like to compare the first argument, in the above example it would ask to input another value instead of -1, and the second argument, in the above example 5.

I am getting the following error:

Error:
IndexError: tuple index out of range

I see *args prints the following when I

print(args)

(-1,)
(5,)

Could you please help me with how can I access the second and the following tuples to come for that function?

Thanks in advance.
