What happens if qty is missing?
Short answer. It uses the default, 1.
Does order matter with keyword arguments?
No. They match by name.
Remember
| Positional: by order |
| Default: used if missing |
| Keyword: name=value |
One function, three ways to call it. Positional values match by order, so three teas. Qty defaults to one when missing. Keyword values use names, in any order. Positional, by order. Default, if missing. Keyword, by name.
