parameters in python code example

Example 1: python arguments

import sys

print ("the script has the name %s" % (sys.argv[0])

Example 2: python functions

def myFunction(say): #you can add variables to the function
  print(say)

myFunction("Hello")

age = input("How old are you?")

myFunction("You are {} years old!".format(age))

#this is what you get:

Hello
How old are you?
>>11 #lol my real age actually
You are 11 years old!

Example 3: python functions

# first we have to write 'def'
# then our function name followed by ()
# and a ':' abd defining  block of code

def multiply():     # naming convention could be same as variable for functions
    product = 10.5 * 4
    return product


product = multiply()
print(product)

Example 4: create function in python

def myFunction():
  print('I am running in a function!')

Example 5: python funtion

def nameOfFunction(something):
  	return something

Example 6: python function arguments

#*args and **kwargs are normally used as arguments when calling the function.

#*args returns as tuple and **kwargs returns as dictionary.

#*args and **kwargs  let you write functions with variable number of arguments in python.

def func(required,*args,**kwargs):
    return f"{required} {args} {kwargs}"
  
func("Nagendra",5,32,2,1,23,) #output == 'Nagendra (5, 32, 2, 1, 23) {}'
func("Nagendra",5,32,2,1,23,key1="55",key2="75") #output == "Nagendra (5, 32, 2, 1, 23) {'key1': '55', 'key2': '75'}"

#Very understable example of args.
#Given n number of arguments in a function calculate its average
def average(*args):
  '''
  As we already know *args means collection of values in a tuple.
  INPUT: arguments are given. example average(4,10,) 
  OUTPUT: average of two numbers (4+10)/2 == 14
  '''
  return sum(args)/len(args)

average(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15) #output == 8.0
