You can submit your assignments as often as you like before the deadline; only the last submission will be graded. If you need an extension due to compelling circumstances, you need to let me know ahead of time (via e-mail before the deadline). That way I know to expect a late submission and can get your submission promptly into the grading queue.
return statement, you can think of that
function like a mathematical function. E.g., the function f(x) = 2*x
would be defined in Python as:
def f(x):
return 2*x
The expression f(7) has the value 14.
When a function includes print statements, that function is being
used as a simple output feature of a program, outputting text to the
shell window. We usually don’t include print statements in functions
that return a value.
