In computer programming, named parameters, named argument or keyword arguments refer to a computer language's support for function calls that clearly state the name of each parameter within the function call.
A function call using named parameters differs from a regular function call in that the values are passed by associating each one with a parameter name, instead of providing an ordered list of values.1
