3) Keyword Parameters (or) arguments


============================================
=>In some of the circumstances, we know the function name and formal parameter
names and we don't know the order of formal Parameter names and to pass the data /
values accurately we must use the concept of Keyword Parameters (or) arguments.
=>The implementation of Keyword Parameters (or) arguments says that all the formal
parameter names used as arguments in Function call(s) as keys.

Syntax for function definition:-


-------------------------------------------------
def functionname(param1,param2...param-n):
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------
Syntax for function call:-
-------------------------------------------------
functionname(param-n=val-n,param1=val1,param-n-1=val-n-1,.........)

Here param-n=val-n,param1=val1,param-n-1=val-n-1,...... are called Keywords


arguments
=>When we specify Keyword arguments before Possitional Arguments in Function
Calls(s) then we get
SyntaxError: positional argument follows keyword argument bcoz PVM gives First
Priority for positional arguments.
