Defining function

Question

Normally in defining function we need to pass arguments as much as we want to operate on values later. e.g.
-----------
def add(x,y):
c=x+y
print(c)
add(4,5)
----------
But what if i want to use less or more values than passed arguments.
e.g.
----------
def add(x,y):
c=x+y
print(c)
add(4,5,6)
-----------
This creates an error. What should I do if such a situation occurs

Answer 1

You can also do it this way

def add(*args):
return sum(n for n in args)

print(add(1, 2)) # 3
print(add(1, 2, 3)) # 6

Answer 2

def add(x, y, *z):
sum = x+y
for arg in z:
sum += arg
return sum

print(add(1, 2)) # 3
print(add(1, 2, 3)) # 6

Answer 3

You have take only two argument In parenthesis.
Your program does not know the role of 6.
coz you define only 2 variable.
def add(x,y)
c = x+y
print(c)
add(4,5)
Where x = 4
y = 5.

Answer 4

Rishabh Singh 🔛✴ thats inside the for loop, so arg will work inside the loop, no need to assign it.

Answer 5

Anna arg is not define.
