*args(pronounced “star args”):- Allows a function to accept any number of positional arguments.
- Inside the function,
argsis treated as a tuple containing all the arguments.
**kwargs(pronounced “double star kwargs”):- Allows a function to accept any number of keyword arguments.
- Inside the function,
kwargsis treated as a dictionary containing all the keyword arguments.
Example:
def example_function(*args, **kwargs):
print("Args:", args)
print("Kwargs:", kwargs)
example_function(1, 2, 3, name="Alice", age=30)
# Output:
# Args: (1, 2, 3)
# Kwargs: {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}
