2 Python Function Arguments

1. What are Function Arguments?

Function arguments are values that we send to a function
so the function can use them while working.

In simple words:
👉 Arguments are the input for a function.

2. Positional Arguments

These are the most common arguments.
Order matters.

3. Keyword Arguments

Here, we use argument names, so order does not matter.

A default value is used when no argument is given.
