1. Positional Arguments
These are the arguments passed to a function in correct positional order.
The number of arguments and their positions in the function definition should match exactly with the number and position of the arguments in the function call.
If we change the number of arguments then we will get error.
2. Keyword Arguments
Keyword arguments are arguments that identify the parameters by their names.
We can pass argument values by keyword i.e by parameter name.
- Here the order of arguments is not important but number of arguments must be matched.
Note:- We can use both positional and keyword arguments simultaneously. But first we have to take positional arguments and then keyword arguments,otherwise we will get SyntaxError.
def wish(name,msg):
print("Hello",name,msg)
wish("Programmerfect","Good Morning") ==>valid
wish("Programmerfect",msg="Good Morning") ==>valid
wish(name="Programmerfect","Good Morning") ==>invalid
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument
