Python *args and **kwargs and print()… – Mind Map

Python *args and **kwargs and print()…: lesson notes

1. 01Print vs Return

   • Print Statement

     • Displays output
     • Returns None
     • Cannot reuse value

   • Return Statement

     • Sends output back
     • Returns a value
     • Can reuse value

   • Code Example

     • def sum_print(a,b): print(a+b)
     • def sum_return(a,b): return a+b

2. 02Single Star Arguments (*args)

   • Concept

     • Accepts any number of positional arguments
     • No matter how many passed

   • Data Type

     • Returns a tuple

   • Code Example

     • def random(*value): print(value)
     • random(10,20,30) outputs (10, 20, 30)

3. 03Double Star Keyword Arguments (**kwargs)

   • Concept

     • Accepts any number of keyword arguments
     • Pass named arguments
