When you are not sure how many arguments will be passed to a function, you can use the *args
syntax to accept a variable number of arguments. This is useful when you want to pass a list or tuple of values to the function, and you don’t want to have to specify each argument individually. The *args
syntax allows you to pass any number of arguments to the function, which will be stored as a tuple inside the function.
Example
The **kwargs
syntax allows you to accept a variable number of keyword arguments in a function. This is useful when you don’t know how many keyword arguments will be passed to the function and you want to handle them in a flexible way. The keyword arguments are stored as a dictionary inside the function, and you can access them using the keys of the dictionary. Using **kwargs
can be a convenient way to handle a potentially large number of keyword arguments in a function.
