Such as "look for all files named 'file.*'", so the computer will look for all files named file, with any extension on the end. Similarly you could say "look for all files named '*.txt'", in which case the computer will search for an files ending in .txt.
To a computer, 42 corresponds to * in ASCII. * is essentially a pointer so 42 means life means whatever you define it as

It’s a comedy novel, the earth is the calculator which is destroyed right before it spits out the ultimate question. It’s a joke.

The question and answer are nonsensical, and that’s the punchline. So no it’s not deep it’s just a joke.

Everyone misses the reference to 42. It is not multiplication or some long formula, and it is most definitely not at random. To understand it, you must understand computers on a basic level. They asked a computer the question, not an organic life form. Computers are based on programs, and computer code to decypher massive amounts of data. In programming, there is often a "wildcard"... a symbol that can be anything you want or anything you need in an equation. This is usually shown as an asterisk, "*" , and the formula is worked out around it. If you look up an ASCII table... the table that specifies all the characters in a computer... the "*" is symbol 42. Therefore, the computer was literally saying, "The meaning of life is * ." Or in other words, "The meaning of life is anything you want it to be, anything you need."

He didn't pick it arbitrarily, Adams did it as a reference to Lewis Caroll. He said in interviews he picked it a random, but HHGTTG has too many Alice in Wonderland/Looking Glass and Hunting of the Snark references to be co-incidental. 1. "If you've done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe?" - Douglas Adams. (vs) "Why I've done as many as six impossible things before breakfast!" - The Red Queen, Alice Through the Looking Glass. 2. Carrol has many "42s" in his books - Alice does math that equals 42, the combined ages of the red and white queens (they are part of the same chess set) is 42-squared, in Hunting of the Snark the Baker has 42 boxes he leaves on the beach etc. 3. The Hunting of the Snark is "an agony in eight fits" and each section is called a "fit" as in "Fit the First, Fit the Second, etc" The episode names of the original Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio show episodes are "Fit the First, Fit the Second, etc". 4. The satire in Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass is a criticism of mathematics and most of the jokes are math-based. Many of the jokes in HHGTTG are math-based: Infinite Improbability Drive, the improbability factor at which Ford and Arthur are rescued is the same as a phone number of the party where Arthur met Trillian, the population of the universe is zero because the universe is infinite but not every world is inhabited so there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds and any finite number divided by infinity is as near to zero as makes no odds, Bistromathics, the "ultimate questions" in Arthur's brain being 6x9 and so on... Reasons 2 and 4 could have been unconscious on Douglas Adams' part, and even reason 1 might have been him accidentally quoting Carroll from childhood memory of reading Looking Glass. But reason 3 is the keystone IMHO that shows a deliberate use of Lewis Carroll, and that makes it much less likely that the three others are co-incidental. . One similarity is a co-incidence, two similarities is probably unconscious author bias (Adams is English like Carrol and studied him at uni), three to four is deliberate. Douglas Adams said he chose 42 at random... but his own text is a powerful argument otherwise.

Last year I was living in Stavanger, Norway. I worked in Schlumberger, an oil & gas service provider. On my second week on the job, this charming Scottish guy was showing me and my colleague some of the tools we send out to the field, and teaching us a few things about them. He was teaching us about how before each tool is sent out, it's length is readjusted based on the client's requirement. And once we change the total length, the placement of our sensors in the tool need to be readjusted. We know where to place the sensors through a simple formula unique to each tool. Something like "the distance from tool bottom to sensor A must always be x inches", and then the rest of the sensors are at a fixed distance from sensor A. He then walked towards a tool, and somewhat rhetorically asked my colleague and I in a thick Scottish accent "So, you two know what the magic number for this one is, then?" I lamely said "I don't know. 42?" And then in a moment I'll never forget, he looked at me with genuine shock and disbelief on his face and said: "How the fuck did you know that?"

In early computing ASCII code the number 42 is equivalent to an asterisk, which was used as a placeholder variable to represent virtually any other number value or character. So the answer to life, the universe, and everything being 42 means you can subjectively put in your own value for what you think the answers are. The answer is up to you, the experiencer.
