6. Define function student_data() to print ID, name, and class if given

Write a Python function student_data () that will print the ID of a student (student_id). If the user passes an argument student_name or student_class the function will print the student name and class.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

def student_data(student_id, **kwargs):
    print(f'\nStudent ID: {student_id}')
    if 'student_name' in kwargs:
        print(f"Student Name: $ {kwargs['student_name']}")
    
    if 'student_name' and 'student_class' in kwargs:
            print(f"\nStudent Name: $ {kwargs['student_name']}")
            print(f"Student Class: $ {kwargs['student_class']}")

 
student_data(student_id='SV12', student_name='Jean Garner')

student_data(student_id='SV12', student_name='Jean Garner', student_class ='V')

Sample Output:

Student ID: SV12
Student Name: $ Jean Garner

Student ID: SV12
Student Name: $ Jean Garner

Student Name: $ Jean Garner
Student Class: $ V
