“””
print(“Name:”, name)
print(“Age:”, age)
print(“Additional Information:”, additional_info)
# Example usage:

print_person_info(“Alice”, 30, occupation=”Software Engineer”, city=”Wonderland”)
Explanations :
• The function print_person_info is defined to accept two required positional arguments (name and age) and any
number of additional keyword arguments. The double-asterisk ** before additional_info allows the function to
receive these additional keyword arguments and pack them into a dictionary called additional_info.
• Inside the function, it prints the name and age of the person using the provided positional arguments (name
and age).
• It then prints the additional information provided as keyword arguments, which are packed into the additional_
info dictionary.

• The print_person_info function can handle different sets of additional information for a person, and it will print
all the provided details.
• In the example usage, the function is called with the name “Alice”, age 30, and additional information about her
occupation and city.
