What parameters can be passed to the called function?

In Python, a function can accept multiple types of parameters:

• Positional arguments — passed in order.
• Named arguments — passed with the parameter name.
• Default arguments — parameters with default values.
• Arbitrary positional arguments — using *args.
• Arbitrary keyword arguments — using **kwargs.

Example:

def example(a, b=2, *args, **kwargs):
    print(f'a={a}, b={b}')
    print(f'args={args}')
    print(f'kwargs={kwargs}')

example(1, 3, 4, 5, x=10, y=20)

Output:

a=1, b=3
args=(4, 5)
kwargs={'x': 10, 'y': 20}
