# We 'put together' the fixed argument (exponent=2) with the new argument (base=4) print(square(4)) # Output: 16 print(square(5)) # Output: 25 Woodman Casting Natalia Nikol Here

# Another example fixing positional arguments def greet(greeting, name): return f"{greeting}, {name}!"
# Fix the greeting say_hello = partial(greet, "Hello")
# 'partial' fixes the 'exponent' argument to 2 square = partial(power, exponent=2)

Here is the "put together feature" breakdown for functools.partial : Module: functools Category: Higher-Order Functions / Functional Programming Description The partial function allows you to "fix" (freeze) a certain number of arguments of a function, resulting in a new function with a simplified signature. It is used for partial application of functions. How it Works (Putting it Together) It takes a callable (function) and specific arguments (positional or keyword) and returns a new callable. When this new callable is called, it calls the original function with the fixed arguments combined with any new arguments provided at call time. Syntax from functools import partial
