What are arguments and parameters in programming?

What are arguments and parameters in programming?

Arguments are the values you pass to a function, while parameters are the variables in the function definition that receive those values.

Can you give me an example of a function with parameters and how to call it with arguments?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

def greet(name):
    return f'Hello, {name}!'

You call it with an argument like this: greet('Alice'), which will return 'Hello, Alice!'.

What happens if I don't provide the required arguments?

If you don't provide the required arguments, you'll typically get a TypeError indicating that the function is missing required positional arguments.

Are there default parameters in functions?

Yes, you can set default values for parameters. If an argument is not provided, the default value will be used.
