[Tutor] Defining a function (Joseph Q.)

[Liam Clarke]

>>> def foo(x):
... print x
... 
>>> foo('hi')
hi

What goes in the brackets is simply the arguments that foo() works with. 

>>>def foo(a,b):
... return a + b
>>> sum = foo(5,10)
>>>print sum
15
>>> conjun = foo("Hi ", "Dave")
>>>print conjun
Hi Dave


Good luck, 

Liam Clarke
