Arbitrary Keyword Arguments

In programming, there is a special syntax for passing any number of named parameters to a function, known as **kwargs.

**kwargs allows a function to accept any number of named arguments and treat them as a dictionary.

123456
def example_function(**kwargs): for key, value in kwargs.items(): print(f'{key}: {value}') # Example function call example_function(name='John', age=25, city='New York')
copy

In this example, **kwargs receives named arguments and prints their keys and values.

Note

The .items() method is used to obtain a list of key-value pairs from a dictionary in Python. Each element in this list is represented as a tuple (key, value).

  1. Complete the code in the function definition to allow it to accept a variable number of key-value pairs representing item names and their costs using keyword arguments kwargs.
  2. Complete the code in the loop to correctly calculate the total cost of the items stored in the kwargs variable.
