pass value to function with * and/or **

[michael1789]

The code in the function needs to be able to handle the type of what you give it, but that code can include a type check and act accordingly. As for converting types as appropriate, that's not automatic, you will have to write that code.

I don't really know the specifics of it all but this page seem to explain it all better than I can: geeksforgeeks_DOT_org/type-isinstance-python/
