positional and keyword arguments python code example
Example: positional vs keyword arguments python
# POSITIONAL ARGUEMENTS ARE AS THE NAME SAYS THEY ARE POSITIONED
# THE KEYWORD ARGUEMETS ARE DEFINED WITH THEIR KEYS LIKE FOLLOWING
# function that greets from name and their location
# {output}: Hello name, how is it in {location}
def greet(name, location):
print("Hello", name)
print("How is it in", location)
# POSITIONAL
greet("John Due", "Nowhere") # this is called positional arguements
# because they are defined as their position in the function
# def greet(name, location) here 1st is name and the 2nd is location
# KEYWORD
greet(location="Nowhere", name="John Due") # here you are putting location
# first but you are using the parameter location to get know the python that
# this is location (I don't care where the name is but I know that this is location)

Hello, John Due
