What is argument passing in Python?

What is argument passing in Python?

Argument passing in Python refers to how arguments are passed to functions, either by value or by reference.

Can you explain the difference between mutable and immutable types in this context?

Sure! Mutable types can be changed after creation (like lists), while immutable types cannot (like tuples).

How does Python handle default arguments?

Python allows you to set default values for arguments, which are used if no value is provided when the function is called.

What happens if I pass a mutable object to a function?

If you pass a mutable object, changes made to it within the function will affect the original object outside the function.

Can you give an example of a function with both positional and keyword arguments?

Certainly! Here's an example: def func(a, b=2, *args, **kwargs): where a is a positional argument, b is a keyword argument, and *args and **kwargs allow for additional arguments.
