Question 3 - Past Year - 2 Mark Questions - Chapter 14 - Functions in python

Last updated at April 16, 2024 by

What are default arguments?

 

Answer:

Default arguments in python are those arguments that get assigned a default value if no explicit values are passed to these arguments in the function call.

Example:

def square_num (int a= 2 ):

    s=a*a

    return s

If a value is not passed when the above function is invoked, then, by default, ‘a’ gets assigned the value 2.
