Complete Python Scripting for Automation - Functions with Variable length arguments

The video tutorial explains variable length arguments in functions, which allow a function to accept any number of arguments. It covers the syntax using the star operator and demonstrates how to implement and use variable length arguments in Python. The tutorial includes practical examples to illustrate the concept and concludes with a summary of the key points.

What is a key limitation of functions with fixed arguments?

• They cannot be reused.

• They can only return one value.

• They can only accept a specific number of arguments.

• They are slower to execute.

What symbol is used to define a function that accepts variable length arguments?

• Hash (#)

• Ampersand (&)

• Asterisk (*)

• Dollar sign ($)

Which of the following is true about the variable name following the asterisk in a function definition?

• It can be any valid variable name.

• It must always be 'args'.

• It must be a single letter.

• It must be a keyword.

How are the arguments stored when passed to a function with variable length arguments?

• As a list

• As a dictionary

• As a tuple

• As a set

What happens when you call a function with variable length arguments without passing any arguments?

• It raises an error.

• It returns None.

• It returns a default value.

• It receives an empty tuple.

What is the purpose of using a loop in a function with variable length arguments?

• To convert arguments to a list

• To sort the arguments

• To iterate over each argument

• To modify the arguments

In the final demonstration, what types of arguments are shown being passed to the function?

• Only strings

• A mix of different types

• Only floating-point numbers

• Only integers
