Variable-length arguments

Default Arguments

def function( n1, n2 = 20 ):


print("number 1 is: ", n1)
print("number 2 is: ", n2)

# Calling the function and passing only one argument


print( "Passing only one argument" )
function(30)

# Now giving two arguments to the function


print( "Passing two arguments" )
function(50,30)

Output
Passing only one argument
number 1 is: 30
number 2 is: 20
Passing two arguments
number 1 is: 50

def function( n1, n2=10, n3):
print("number 1 is: ", n1)

# Calling the function and passing only one argument


print( "Passing only one argument" )
function(30,20)

function(50,30,10)

# Calling function and passing arguments without using keyword


print( "Without using keyword" )
function( 50, 30)

# Calling function and passing arguments using keyword


print( "With using keyword" )
function( n2 = 50, n1 = 30)

Without using keyword
number 1 is: 50
number 2 is: 30
