Question 4

Informs Python that the following block of code is a function definition.

Answer 4

def

Question 5

A unique name by which a function is known. Following the same rules as variable naming (i.e., can contain letters, numbers, and underscores only, but may not begin with a number).

Answer 5

function_name

Question 6

Functions can be written to allow from zero to 255 arguments. If a parameter contains an equal sign, the right-side is the default value in case no argument was passed. Each parameter must have a unique name.

Answer 6

parameters

Question 7

The code to execute when the function is called.

Answer 7

function_body

Question 8

Optional. Returns a value from the function to where it was called. A function without a return instruction automatically returns after all logically sequential instructions have been executed.

Answer 8

return

Question 9

s a file that contains one or more functions and/or classes that may be reused to save time writing and debugging new source code.

Answer 15

findall()

Question 16

occurs when a resource or event causes a major error within a program.

This has the effect of ignoring any remaining code in the try block, and mitigating the crash proactively.

Answer 17

try-except
