WEB 1.1 - Module 1: Lesson 7

Learning Outcomes 💫

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to...

• Call a function using named parameters in order to pass in parameters out-of-order.
• Write a function that takes in *args in order to accept any number of arguments.
• Write a function that takes in **kwargs to accept any number of keyword arguments.

Why this is important

In the next module, you will be using keyword arguments to pass in data to a template. So, it's good to get a refresher on how to use them.
