Data Science and Machine Learning (Theory and Projects) A to Z - Function and Module in Python: Ordering Multiple Input

The video tutorial explains how to define functions with multiple input arguments in Python, emphasizing the importance of argument order. It introduces a workaround by defining variable names at call time to avoid order issues. A Python example demonstrates how argument order affects function behavior. The tutorial concludes by discussing the benefits of using named arguments to handle order and hints at future topics.

Why is the order of input arguments important when defining a function?

• It determines the function's return type.

• It affects how arguments are assigned to parameters.

• It changes the function's name.

• It alters the function's execution speed.

What happens if you change the order of arguments when calling a function?

• The function will not execute.

• The function will execute twice.

• The arguments will be assigned to different parameters.

• The function will return an error.

How can you avoid issues with argument order in function calls?

• By using local variables.

• By using default arguments.

• By using named arguments.

• By using global variables.

In the given Python example, what will be the output if the function is called with arguments (3, 'game', 2)?

• A is 3, B is 2, C is game

• A is 2, B is 3, C is game

• A is game, B is 3, C is 2

• A is 3, B is game, C is 2

What is a key advantage of using named arguments in function calls?

• It ensures arguments are assigned to the correct parameters regardless of order.

• It reduces the number of arguments needed.

• It allows for faster execution.

• It eliminates the need to know parameter names.

What must you know when using named arguments in function calls?

• The exact names of the parameters.

• The number of arguments the function can accept.

• The data type of each argument.

• The return type of the function.

What will happen if you use named arguments incorrectly?

• The function will raise an error.

• The function will ignore the incorrect arguments.

• The function will execute with random values.

• The function will execute with default values.
