What are keyword parameters in Python functions?

Keyword parameters allow you to pass arguments to a function by explicitly naming them, improving readability.

Can you give me an example of how to use keyword parameters?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

def greet(name, greeting='Hello'):
    print(f'{greeting}, {name}!')

# Calling the function

greet(name='Alice')  # Output: Hello, Alice!
greet(name='Bob', greeting='Hi')  # Output: Hi, Bob!

What happens if I don't provide a keyword for a parameter?

If you don't provide a keyword, the function will use the positional argument based on the order of parameters.

Are there any advantages to using keyword parameters?

Yes, they enhance code clarity, allow for optional parameters, and enable you to skip certain arguments.
