**kwargs python meaning code example

Example 1: variable number of arguments to python class

def multiply(*args):
    z = 1
    for num in args:
        z *= num
    print(z)

multiply(4, 5)
multiply(10, 9)
multiply(2, 3, 4)
multiply(3, 5, 10, 6)

Example 2: args kwargs python

>>> def argsKwargs(*args, **kwargs):
...     print(args)
...     print(kwargs)
... 
>>> argsKwargs('1', 1, 'slgotting.com', upvote='yes', is_true=True, test=1, sufficient_example=True)
('1', 1, 'slgotting.com')
{'upvote': 'yes', 'is_true': True, 'test': 1, 'sufficient_example': True}

Example 3: **kwargs

When it iterating over a dictionary you are only able to iterate over 
the keys not the values. The ** when placed before a variable will allow
you to iterate and unpack both key and value pairs. Because you are 
unpacking both key and value this will return the result as a dictionary.

Example 4: *args,**kwarg

def intro(**data):
    print("\nData type of argument:",type(data))

    for key, value in data.items():
        print("{} is {}".format(key,value))

intro(Firstname="Sita", Lastname="Sharma", Age=22, Phone=1234567890)
intro(Firstname="John", Lastname="Wood", Email="[email protected]", Country="Wakanda", Age=25, Phone=9876543210)
