Question

in the function call calculate_tax(amount=100, rate=0.07), what type of arguments are being used?

• keyword arguments
• default arguments
• positional arguments
• required arguments

Explanation:

Keyword arguments pass values by explicitly naming the parameter they correspond to, which matches the format parameter=value shown in the function call. Default arguments use pre-defined values if no input is given, positional arguments rely on order, and required arguments are mandatory inputs without explicit naming here.

Answer:

Keyword arguments
