In any programming language we make a function to perform certain task. Sometimes we don’t know how many arguments will come from user sites, In that case we use *args.
<pre><code>def function_args(*args):
 for i in args:
 print(i)
</code></pre>call function with *args
<pre><code>function_args("Apple", "Laptop")
</code></pre>output:
<pre><code>Apple
Laptop
</code></pre>*kwargs is same as args the only difference is it is used for passing arguments with keyword.
<pre><code>def function_kwargs(**kwargs):
 for i in kwargs:
 print(i, kwargs[i])
</code></pre>call function with **kwargs
<pre><code>function_kwargs(fruit="Apple", device"Laptop")
</code></pre>output:
<pre><code>fruit Apple
device Laptop
</code></pre>Note: The words args and kwargs are just a convention, we can take any name in their place.

```
def function_args(*args):
    for i in args:
        print(i)
``` 

call function with *args

```
function_args("Apple", "Laptop")
``` 

output:


```
Apple
Laptop
``` 


**kwargs is same as *args the only difference is it is used for passing arguments with keyword.


```
def function_kwargs(**kwargs):
    for i in kwargs:
        print(i, kwargs[i])

``` 

call function with **kwargs

```
function_kwargs(fruit="Apple", device"Laptop")
``` 

output:


```
fruit Apple
device Laptop
``` 




Note: The words args and kwargs are just a convention, we can take any name in their place.
