1,820 PointsWhen to use *args vs *kwargs
so when you need the output to be a tuple you use *args when strings are the input. but if the input calls a variable you'll want it to be a dictionary and use **kwargs. both strictly used when the amount is unknown? I hope I'm grasping this fully. then i can also convert them back to lists if needed. and these are specific features unique to functions. How do i rationalize my intentions with them?

1,820 Pointsoh **kwargs stands for keyword arguments. that makes sense now.
