Python: *args and **kwargs

## *args
def testAsteriskArgs(arg1,*args):
    num= len(args);
    print arg1;
    for i in range(0,num):
        print str(i)+ ": " + str(args[i]);
    print type(args);

testAsteriskArgs(1,2,"test",(3,4,5));
# Output
1
0: 2
1: test
2: (3, 4, 5)
<type 'tuple'>

## **kwargs
def testkwargs(arg1,*args,**kwargs):
    print arg1;
    num= len(args);
    for i in range(0,num): print str(i)+": "+str(args[i]);
    print kwargs;
    print type(kwargs);

testkwargs(11,22,33,44,X=55,Y=66,Z=77);
# Output
11
0: 22
1: 33
2: 44
{'Y': 66, 'X': 55, 'Z': 77}
