What do args and Kwargs do?
*args collects the positional arguments that are not explicitly defined and store them in a tuple. **kwargs does the same as *args but for keyword arguments. They are stored in a dictionary because keyword arguments are stored as name-value pairs. Python does not allow positional arguments to follow keyword arguments.
