I am a beginner. I have a simple question about Resnet-18.(but I really don’t understand) The following is the network structure code of Resnet-18.
I can’t understand the code,and I didn’t find a specific explanation in the reference books :
**return nn.Sequential (* layers)** 
Does it mean that the last returned value is (layers),For example, if layers = [10,20], by executing this line of code, the final return value is still [10,20].  If this is the case, why not use return layers (I don’t know whether this is feasible)directly.
