• 0.0003 seconds

• 30 seconds

• 3 seconds

When would we want to use a Function in code?

• When we want to store a number value for later use

• When we want to use the same lines of code in multiple places in our program

If we run this program, how many times will "Hello" be printed?

• 4

• None

• Infinity

What does this program do?

• Prints 100, then 99, 98, 97...and so on until 0

• Prints the number 100 one hundred times

• Prints 1, 2, 3...and so on until 100

• Decreases 'count' by 1, but doesn't print anything
