Python Functions

What is the scope of a variable defined inside a function in a coding bootcamp?

• The scope is global and accessible from any function

• The scope is limited to the function where it is defined.

• The scope is limited to the entire coding bootcamp program

• The scope is limited to the block where the function is defined

Explain the difference between ordering food online and dining in a restaurant.

• define recipe_name(ingredients):

• def recipe_name:

• def recipe_name(ingredients):

Imagine a scenario where John is a carpenter working on a project. He has a function called calculate_total_cost that calculates the total cost of materials and labor. The function takes two parameters, material_cost and labor_cost, and returns the sum of the two. What will be the output when John calls calculate_total_cost with material_cost as $300 and labor_cost as $400?

• $3

• $8

• $7

• $10

Identify the error in the following recipe function:

def bake_cake(flour, sugar):
mix = flour + sugar
return mix
print(bake_cake(2))

• The function should be defined as bake_cake(flour, sugar=1)

• The function call should be corrected to bake_cake(2, 3) where 3 is the second ingredient.

• The function should return flour - sugar instead of flour + sugar

• The function should have a default value for sugar

What does the 'global' keyword do in a programming project?

• Creates a new variable in the project scope

• Automatically initializes a variable with a default value

• Modifies a variable outside of the current scope

• Allows access to built-in project functions

Explain the components of a recipe header in a cookbook.

• Method name, ingredients, cooking instructions

• Recipe name, steps, serving size

• Name, ingredients, cuisine type

• Recipe name, ingredients, cooking time

What is the purpose of a return statement in a Python function?

• To declare a variable

• To specify the value that the function should output when called.

• To stop the execution of the function

• To define the function's name

Imagine Rohan and Riyaan are working on a project. Rohan is writing a void function, while Riyaan is working on a non-void function. How do void and non-void functions differ in Python?

• Void functions do not return any value, while non-void functions return a value.

• Void functions and non-void functions are the same.

• Void functions are used for mathematical operations, while non-void functions are used for string manipulations.

• Void functions return a value, while non-void functions do not return any value.

Write a Python function that calculates the total cost of items in a shopping cart.

• def calculate_total_cost(cart_items): return sum(cart_items)

• def total_cost(items): return sum(items)

• def calculate_shopping_cart_total(cart): return sum(cart)

• def get_total_cost(items): return sum(items)
