[Python] What is the difference between default and required parameters?

Create a new function named defaults with two parameters:

1. my_optional which has a default value of True
2. my_required which is a required param and has no default value

Return the following logical comparison: my_optional is my_required

Expected output:

>>> defaults(True)
True

>>> defaults(True, False)
False

>>> defaults(False, False)
True


This is my attempt:

def defaults(my_optional, my_required)
my_optional = True
return my_optional is my_required


I received the error: "defaults is missing positional argument: my_required"
