Python Functions

1.		What is the purpose of the *args parameter in a function definition?

It allows the function to accept a variable number of keyword arguments

It allows the function to accept a variable number of positional arguments

It defines the default arguments for a function

It defines the required arguments for a function

2.		What is the purpose of the map function in Python?

It applies a function to each element of an iterable and returns a new iterable

It filters an iterable based on a given function

It converts an iterable to a dictionary

It sorts an iterable based on a given function

3.		What is the output of the following code? numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] def is_even(x):return x % 2 == 0 even_numbers = filter(is_even, numbers) print(list(even_numbers))

[1, 3, 5]

[2, 4]

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

[]

4.		What is the purpose of the **kwargs parameter in a function definition?

It allows the function to accept a variable number of positional arguments

It allows the function to accept a variable number of keyword arguments

It defines the default arguments for a function

It defines the required arguments for a function

5.		What is the output of the following code? def my_function(x, y):return x + y result = my_function(y=2, x=3) print(result)

6.		What is the difference between function parameters and arguments in Python?

There is no difference

Parameters are values passed to a function, whereas arguments are variables defined within a function

Parameters and arguments are both variables defined within a function

7.		What is the syntax to call a function in Python?

call function_name(arguments)

function_name(arguments)

function(arguments)

call function(arguments)

8.		What is the output of the following code? def my_function(*args):return sum(args) result = my_function(1, 2, 3, 4) print(result)
