CHALLENGE ACTIVITY
6.13.1: Keyword arguments and default parameters.
 
Use Python, please.
**Challenge Activity: 6.13.1: Keyword Arguments and Default Parameters**

**Instruction:**
Type the program’s output.

---

**Code Snippet:**

```python
def show(a, b=6, c=4):
    print('{}/{}!'.format(b, a, c))

show(b=7, a=2)
show(c=1, a=9)
```

---

**Output:**  
The output box with number 4.

**Explanation:**

- The code defines a function `show(a, b=6, c=4)` with default parameters for `b` and `c`.
- The first function call `show(b=7, a=2)` specifies `b=7` and `a=2`, which uses the defaults or specified values:
  - `print('{}/{}!'.format(b, a, c))` becomes `print('7/2!')`, so it displays `7/2!`.
- The second function call `show(c=1, a=9)` specifies `c=1` and `a=9`. Here, the default `b=6` is used:
  - `print('{}/{}!'.format(b, a, c))` becomes `print('6/9!')`, so it displays `6/9!`.
  
The code execution results in two output lines:  
- `7/2!`
- `6/9!`

---

**Navigation Graph:**

- A progress bar is displayed with steps 1 through 4.
- Step 4 is highlighted as the current step.
  
**Actions:**
- Two buttons are available: "Check" and "Next".
- The checklist on the right indicates completed steps 1, 2, and 3.
