Answer 2

Positional arguments are arguments that can be called by their position in the function definition.

Required arguments are arguments that must passed to the function.

Answer 3

We can use the positional & default arguments together in a function.
We can't use required and default arguments together they must be provided in function call
Right..?

Answer 4

function(required, required2):
positional = 1
positional2 = []

Answer 5

We can use the positional & default arguments together in a function.
Yes.
We can't use required and default arguments together they must be provided in function call
Right..?
NO. We can.

Positional arguments are desided by their positions to farmal arguments. They can't be provided as keyword arguments,. If we do then they become keyword arguments, so not any more a positional arguments.
Required arguments are arguments are arguments must be passed as a positional or may be with keyword argument but must be provided...
Ex :
def add(a, b, c=5) :
return a+b+c

1) with positional arguments call add(2,3,4) or add(2,3) (a, b, c are desided by positions.
2) with only required arguments call add(2,3)
(a, b are desided positions) add(b=3,a=4,c=5)
(a,b are required arguments but not desided by positioning but by arguments...
Hope it helps..
