Challenge: Mastering **kwargs in Python Functions

Task

Swipe to start coding

Write a Python function named create_user_profile that accepts various user attributes as keyword arguments and formats them into a user profile string.

Functionality:

The function should iterate over the kwargs and construct a string that lists each attribute and its value in a readable format.
Handle the case where no attributes are provided.

Output:

Return a string representing the user profile.

Check if the kwargs dictionary is empty;
Unpack each key-value pair in kwargs using a for loop;
Used method items(). This is the method to iterate over both keys and values in a dictionary;
Use the append method. This will add each formatted key-value pair to the profile_parts list;
Call the function with keyword arguments.
