use of kwargs and args in python classes

def myFun(*args,**kwargs): 
    print("args: ", args) 
    print("kwargs: ", kwargs) 
    
myFun('my','name','is Maheep',firstname="Maheep",lastname="Chaudhary")

# *args - take the any number of argument as values from the user 
# **kwargs - take any number of arguments as key as keywords with 
# value associated with them

Kwargs in python

def tester(**kwargs):
   for key, value in kwargs.items():
       print(key, value, end = " ")
tester(Sunday = 1, Monday = 2, Tuesday = 3, Wednesday = 4)

args in python

def add(*args):
    total = 0
    for i in args:
        total += i
    
    return total

print(add(5,5,10))

args in python

def mul(*args):  # args as argument
    multiply = 1
    for i in args:
        multiply *= i
        
    return multiply

lst = [4,4,4,4]
tpl = (4,4,4,4)    

print(mul(*lst))  # list unpacking
print(mul(*tpl)) # tuple unpacking

what are args and kwargs in python

# Python program to illustrate   
# **kwargs for variable number of keyword arguments 
  
def info(**kwargs):  
    for key, value in kwargs.items(): 
        print ("%s == %s" %(key, value)) 
  
# Driver code 
info(first ='This', mid ='is', last='Me')     

args in python

def func(*args):
    x = []          # emplty list
    for i in args:
        i = i * 2
        x.append(i)  
        y = tuple(x) # converting back list into tuple
    return y
        
tpl = (2,3,4,5)        
print(func(*tpl))

python *args and **kwargs

def foo(*args):
    for a in args:
        print(a)        

foo(1)
# 1

foo(1,2,3)
# 1
# 2
# 3

args in python

# if args is not passed it return message
# "Hey you didn't pass the arguements"

kwargs in python

    d = {k.upper():v.upper() for k,v in kwargs.items() }
    return d
   
d = {"name":"neo","age":"33","city":"tokyo"}

args in python

# normal parameters with *args

def mul(a,b,*args): # a,b are normal paremeters
    multiply = 1
    for i in args:
        multiply *= i
        
    return multiply

print(mul(3,5,6,7,8))   # 3 and 5 are being passed as a argument but 6,7,8 are args 

kwargs python

def calculate(n, **kwargs):
	n += kwargs["add"]
	n *= kwargs["multiply"]
	return n

print(calculate(3, add=3, multiply=5)) # (3+3)*5 = 30

args in python

def wrap(*args):
        lis = list(args)  # it is important to convert args into list before looping, args take tuple as a argument 
        for i in range(len(lis)):
