Functions
For this quiz I want you to (in class) create a program with two functions:
- def square_root(x): // returns the square root of x (float)
- def cube_root(x): // returns the cube root of x (float)
- You need to write “from math import sqrt” : it means you can import functions from the math module.
- A function is a named sequence of statements that performs a computation.
When you define a function, you specify the name and the sequence of statements. By writing “def square_root (x)”. Then your function will return a result: it is called the return value.
def : indicates that it is a function definition
square_root : is the name of the function
(x): x is the argument of the function
Return is what comes out of my function.
