Using Keyword Arguments

In Python, keyword arguments refer to the method of passing values to a function by explicitly specifying the parameter names during a function call.

In programming, the term explicit refers to directly specifying values or defining behavior clearly to ensure the code's intent is transparent.


Usage of Keyword Arguments​

Keyword arguments are used to pass values to a function by specifying both the parameter name and the value.

This method allows functions to be called without concern for the order of parameters.

Example of Using Keyword Arguments
# Define a function to print user information
def print_user_info(name, age, city):
    print(f"name: {name}, age: {age}, city: {city}")

# Call the function with keyword arguments regardless of order
print_user_info(city="New York", name="John", age=30)
# Output: name: John, age: 30, city: New York
