The "/ parameter" syntax is used in Python 3.8+ to indicate the end of positional-only parameters and the start of parameters that can be passed either by position or by keyword. This means that any arguments passed after the "/" separator must be specified by a keyword argument. This is useful for functions that have arguments that should not be passed by keyword, but still need to allow some arguments to be passed as keywords.
