Learn Python Episode #18: Keyword Arguments

in technology •  7 years ago 

Alright! So, let's talk about keyword arguments. The first keyword, or boolean, that we are going to cover is None. Basically, this is the equivalent to null in other languages. So, let's go ahead and write our previous function.

def print_something(name = "Someone", age = "Unknown"):
    print("My name is", name, "and my age is", age)

print_something(None, 27)

There isn't a way to pass in an argument that isn't first one being used unless we use keyword arguments. We can also define the variable when we call the function.

def print_something(name = "Someone", age = "Unknown"):
    print("My name is", name, "and my age is", age)

print_something(age = 27, name = "Nick")

By using keyword arguments, we can specify which value is supposed to go in a particular variable.

Excellent series. Javascript and Python are the 2 languages I want to learn.

Python is a lot of fun :)
