Default Parameters and Keyword Arguments

# Positional arguments are arguments that are required to be in the proper position.

# The same applies to Parameters...the parameters have to be in the proper position in relation to the arguments for the program to give us the result we want.

# Keyword arguments allow us no to have to worry about position

# example:

# Default parameter

def say_hello(name = 'Darth Vader', emoji=':('): # name and emoji are 2 variables or parameters that we have created....

print(f'hello {name} {emoji}')

#arguments...are used as the actual values we provide to a function

say_hello('Fred', ':)') # the name and the emoji are the arguments...those are the values we provide to the function

say_hello('Carla', ':)')# parameters are used when we define the fuction, arguments are used when we call the function

say_hello('Emily', ':)')

#Keyword argument

say_hello(emoji = ':)', name = 'Steven')

say_hello() # The Fuction is being called the wrong way...empty()...but because of our Default function...Darth Vader has been established it is called.

# Default Parameters allows us as we are defining the fuction what we want as default.

# Using Keyword arguments can be bad practice...can make your code less clean...it is better to follow the positional parameters and arguments that may already

# be in place.
