Introduction

In Python, we can pass a variable number of argumnets to a function using special symbols.

THere aer two special symbols

1. *args (Non Keyword Arguments)
2. **kwargs (Keyword Arguments)

Note : We use *args and **kwargs as an argument when we have no doubt about the number of arguments we should pass in a function.

*args

The special syntax *args in function definition in python is used to pass a variable number of arguments to a function.

**kwargs

**kwargs in function definition us used to pass a keyword variable length argument list,

We use the name kwargs with the double star. THe reason is that the double star allows us to pass through keyword arguments (and any number of them).

kwargs stands for keyworded arguments
