How to let Python Class take variable number of arguments with keywords and value

Question

So I am working on one of the freecodecamp.org python assignments and one of the criteria is that I need to create a class. Quoting the assignment:

The class should take a variable number of arguments that specify the number of balls of each color that are in the hat. For example, a class object could be created in any of these ways:

hat1 = Hat(yellow=3, blue=2, green=6)
hat2 = Hat(red=5, orange=4)
hat3 = Hat(red=5, orange=4, black=1, blue=0, pink=2, striped=9)

I have no idea how to construct a class that allows for objects to have a variable number of arguments with values. The class section on the website was very minimal and did not even cover variable arguments for keyword and values when constructing a class object. Would greatly appreciate any help.

I still don't get it.. I even copied and pasted an example code and it still does not work.. it seems you need to use a function for the **kwargs but if i define a function inside my class does it automatically execute it? — swordlordswamplord, May 04 '21 at 14:46
