Print vs Return

2. Arguments or Parameters

Parameters and arguments are a piece of information that is passed to a function. Here we will learn how to work with them.

Arguments or Parameters

3. Assigning a Default Value to a Parameter

In this section, we will learn what default parameters are and what they are used for. We will also learn how to create functions with them.

Default Parameters

4. An Unknown Number of Arguments

What if we don't know exactly how many arguments we will send? Here we will learn how to fix this problem.

Unknown Number of Arguments

5. Functions within Functions

Here we will learn how to create functions that are defined inside another function, and they are called inner or nested functions.

Functions within Functions

6. Recursion

Recursion is a general mathematical and programming concept. Here we will learn how to implement recursive functions.

Challenge: Create a Function 'exam_scores' with if-else Statement

Tarea

You need to implement a function called exam_scores. This function has three variables that correspond to the results of three different exams, namely the english_exam = 90, mathematics_exam = 85, programming_exam = 100. Then the function records the total score in the variable total. Then the answer is checked, if the total number of points is more than 290, you will receive the following text Congratulations, your score is higher than the passing score!, otherwise you will get the following text: Unfortunately your score is lower than the pass.
