Question 51

💡 Hint

Think about the keyword that comes before the function name when you create a function.

The keyword used to define a function in Python is .

Question 52

💡 Hint

This built-in function always returns a string. The user types something and presses Enter.

To read input from the user we use the built-in function ().

Question 53

💡 Hint

The operator is two asterisks together: **. Think: "to the power of".

The operator ** is used for in Python.

Question 54

💡 Hint

The function name starts with the letters int — it converts text into a whole number.

To convert a string to a whole number, we use ().

Question 55

💡 Hint

The function takes one argument: the person's name. Name the parameter the same as the variable used inside.

Complete the function definition with one parameter:

def welcome():
    print("Hello, " + name)

Question 56

💡 Hint

After dividing, what is left over? Example: 10 ÷ 3 = 3 remainder 1.

The % operator gives the of a division.

Question 57

💡 Hint

To call a function, write its name followed by parentheses. Put the argument "Sam" inside the brackets.

To call the function greet and pass the argument "Sam", you write:

Question 58

💡 Hint

7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 left over. The // operator drops the decimal and keeps only the whole number.

The result of 7 // 2 is .

Question 59

💡 Hint

Python uses whitespace to show which lines belong inside a function. Press Tab or use 4 spaces.

In Python, the body of a function is marked using to separate it from the rest of the code.

Question 60

💡 Hint

This built-in function shows text on the screen. You use it every time you want the user to see something.

The built-in function that displays text to the screen is ().

Question 61

The following code has ONE error. Identify and correct it.

def sayHello(name)
    print("Hello, " + name)
