What is args & kwargs?
*args allows a function to accept any number of positional arguments as a tuple. **kwargs allows any number of keyword arguments as a dictionary. They make functions flexible when the number or names of arguments are not known in advance, and are widely used in Python libraries for passing options through layers of function calls.
