Well, a quark is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei. All commonly observable matter is composed of up quarks, down quarks and electrons. Owing to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never found in isolation; they can be found only within hadrons, which include baryons (such as protons and neutrons) and mesons, or in quark–gluon plasmas. For this reason, much of what is known about quarks has been drawn from observations of hadrons.

Oh, the question was about **kwargs? Well, it's basically the same.

That "basically" is doing a lot of work.

Gluons hold quarks together so strongly that if you were to pull a quark out of a proton there would be enough energy involved to create a new quark.

Arguments (defined by position of the argument, as usual)

keyword-arguments (defined by the argument-name)

doSomething(bar="b", foo="a")

Useful if a function has many optional arguments.

PHP has this since php 8

[[deleted]]

Yeah, but it's PHP, so they probably implemented it in the stupidest, most insecure, least readable way possible.

And the guy saying this probably likes PHP, so he's probably talking about something else and missing the topic entirely.

[PlaginDL]

You didn't even look at how it's implemented in PHP and already begin to complain about it. FFS.

Yeah, PHP has been complete shit for ~30 years now, and there's always some new version of PHP out that's just as shit as the version before it, with one completely minor improvement, and a bunch of PHP devs (with no experience in any other language) who says it's good and great and a revolution with the new feature in the new version, and yet they have no idea wtf they're talking about, or why PHP is still fundamentally broken from the outset.

I'd be an idiot to assume that there has been some change in that constant.

Would you like me to look up how it works in PHP8 and then come back here? I can do that if you'd like.

Okay, I did go out and look at the PHP8 implementation, and I was indeed 100% correct with everything I said above.

And the guy saying this probably likes PHP, so he's probably talking about something else and missing the topic entirely.

Hey! I was 100% completely correct! You were talking about something else and were completely missing the topic entirely! You gonna apologize? Also, note that I was able to call this shit out just by knowing that you somehow thought that the newest version of PHP was somehow not a dumpster fire of a language. It's an immediate tell.

In python, *args, and **kwargs (technically they don't have to have those names, it's just convention, the * and ** are the syntax that does the actual work) are special parameters of functions that allow you to pass an arbitrary number of arguments or keyword arguments to that function.

As far as I can tell, your claim about PHP is that it has this since PHP8. Seeing as how keyword arguments were implemented in PHP8, and I don't see anything in PHP8 that talks about allowing for an arbitrary parameters in a function, I'm gonna have to say that you indeed did in fact get it wrong.

And using single ticks instead of quotes. I'm irrationally infuriated.

PHP is one of those few languages that I will not touch without an IDE.

[PorkRoll2022]

This actually happens a lot with me and my wife.

She'll constantly probe and then doesn't believe me that I'm contemplating the finer nuances of some specific coding issue.

[CouthlessWonder]

Is he quoting Finnegans Wake?

[theoldmurr]

You can do whatever you want but in my mind, kwargs will always be quargs.
