Subject: Simple Question

I saw the following in a book.

def deleted_roles=(values)
  roles.find(*values).each(&:destroy)
end

I understand that this method finds all the roles with the given ids and
calls destroy on all of them. My question is, what is the significance
of *. Why is it roles.find(*values) and not just plain
roles.find(values)?

Is there any difference?

Could it possibly be a typo and the method should be defined as

def deleted_roles(*values)...

Thanks
