What are variable arguments in Python?

Variable arguments in Python allow you to pass a variable number of arguments to a function using *args and **kwargs.

Can you give me an example of how to use *args?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

def add_numbers(*args): return sum(args)

print(add_numbers(1, 2, 3)) # Output: 6

What about **kwargs? How is it different?

**kwargs allows you to pass keyword arguments to a function. For example:

def print_info(**kwargs): for key, value in kwargs.items(): print(f'{key}: {value}')

Can I mix *args and **kwargs in a function?

Yes, you can mix them! Just remember to place *args before **kwargs in the function definition.
