Can you pass functions as arguments?

You can just pass f as an argument.  The following is not the most
concise or general way, it just shows how you can pass a function.

    def square(x): 
       return x**2

    def sum100(f):    # f(0)+f(1)+...+f(100)
       s = 0
       for i in xrange(101):
          s += f(i)
       return s

    print sum100(square)    # pass square as an argument
