What is *args and **kwargs in Python?

#pythontips #pythonprogramming #pythonforbeginner

✅ In Python, *args and **kwargs are special syntax used in function definitions to handle variable-length arguments.

1️⃣ *𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐬 (𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬):
- Allows a function to accept any number of positional arguments.
- The args parameter is treated as a tuple that contains the positional arguments passed to the function.
- Enables passing a variable number of arguments to a function without explicitly specifying them.

2️⃣ **𝐤𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐬 (𝐊𝐞𝐲𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐀𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬):
- Allows a function to accept any number of keyword arguments.
- The kwargs parameter is treated as a dictionary that contains the keyword arguments passed to the function.
- Enables passing a variable number of keyword arguments to a function without explicitly specifying them.

3️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 *𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 **𝐤𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐬:
- You can also use both *args and **kwargs in a function definition to accept a combination of positional and keyword arguments.

👉 By using *args and **kwargs, you can create flexible functions that can handle varying numbers of arguments, making your code more versatile and adaptable.
