Complete Python Scripting for Automation - Functions with variable keyword arguments

The video tutorial covers keyword-based arguments in functions, including variable length keyword arguments. It explains how to handle these arguments using dictionaries and demonstrates combining normal and keyword arguments. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the concepts and prepares viewers for writing scripts using these techniques.

What is a keyword-based argument in a function?

• An argument that is passed using the parameter name as a key

• An argument that is passed without using the parameter name

• An argument that is always optional

• An argument that must be passed in a specific order

How are variable length keyword-based arguments represented in a function?

• As a dictionary

• As a tuple

• As a list

• As a set

What syntax is used to define variable length keyword-based arguments in a function?

• Single asterisk (*)

• Double asterisks (**)

• Ampersand (&)

• Hash (#)

In the context of variable length keyword-based arguments, what does the double asterisk (**) signify?

• It indicates a tuple of arguments

• It indicates a single optional argument

• It indicates a dictionary of key-value pairs

• It indicates a list of arguments

What happens to the keyword arguments when passed to a function with variable length keyword-based arguments?

• They are converted to strings

• They are stored in a dictionary

• They are stored in a list

• They are ignored

How can you combine normal arguments with keyword-based arguments in a function?

• By passing all arguments as keyword arguments

• By passing normal arguments first, followed by keyword arguments

• By passing keyword arguments first, followed by normal arguments

• By using only one type of argument

What is the result of combining normal and keyword-based arguments in a function?

• Keyword arguments are ignored

• Normal arguments are ignored

• All arguments are converted to keyword arguments

• Normal arguments are assigned first, followed by keyword arguments forming a dictionary
