<span id="qiskit-extensions-unitarygate-broadcast-arguments" />
### broadcast\_arguments
<Function id="qiskit.extensions.UnitaryGate.broadcast_arguments" signature="UnitaryGate.broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)">
Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship.
For example, `cx([q[0],q[1]], q[2])` means `cx(q[0], q[2]); cx(q[1], q[2])`. This method yields the arguments in the right grouping. In the given example:
```python
in: [[q[0],q[1]], q[2]],[]
outs: [q[0], q[2]], []
[q[1], q[2]], []
```
The general broadcasting rules are:
> * If len(qargs) == 1:
>
> ```python
> [q[0], q[1]] -> [q[0]],[q[1]]
> ```
>
> * If len(qargs) == 2:
>
> ```python
> [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[1]]
> [[q[0]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[0], r[1]]
> [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[0]]
> ```
>
> * If len(qargs) >= 3:
>
> ```python
> [q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]], ...] -> [q[0], r[0], ...], [q[1], r[1], ...]
> ```
