AI changed software development. This is how the pros use it.
Written for working developers, Coding with AI goes beyond hype to show how AI fits into real production workflows. Learn how to integrate AI into Python projects, avoid hallucinations, refactor safely, generate tests and docs, and reclaim hours of development time—using techniques tested in real-world projects.
Allow your functions to accept any number of arguments. Flexibility at its best!
# Function with *args and kwargs
def greet(*names, kwargs):
for name in names:
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
for key, value in kwargs.items():
print(f"{key} = {value}")
greet('Alice', 'Bob', age=30, location='USA')
# Output:
# Hello, Alice!
# Hello, Bob!
# age = 30
# location = USA
