This video tutorial covers the creation and use of custom functions in Python, including the distinction between parameters and arguments, the types of functions, and the use of optional and variable arguments. It also explains the concept of variable scope, both local and global, and demonstrates the implementation of the FizzBuzz algorithm. The tutorial emphasizes best practices in function naming and code readability.

Why is it important to use functions in programming?

• To make code longer and more complex

• To make code run faster

• To organize code into smaller, reusable chunks

• To avoid using variables

What is the difference between a parameter and an argument?

• A parameter is a value passed to a function, while an argument is a variable defined in a function

• A parameter is a variable defined in a function, while an argument is a value passed to a function

• A parameter is used in loops, while an argument is used in conditions

• Both are the same and can be used interchangeably

What happens if you do not provide a required argument to a function?

• The function will raise a TypeError

• The function will ignore the missing argument

• The function will return None

• The function will run with default values

How can you make a parameter optional in a function?

• By declaring it as a global variable

• By using it in a loop

• By setting a default value for it

• By not using it in the function

Which of the following is a function that returns a value?

• round()

• print()

• None of the above

• greet()

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

• To exit the function and return a value to the caller

• To print a value to the console

• To define a new variable

• To loop through a list

Why should global variables be avoided?

• They make code run slower

• They can lead to unexpected behavior if modified

• They are difficult to define

• They are not supported in Python

What is the scope of a local variable?

• The function in which it is defined

• The module in which it is defined

• The entire program

• The class in which it is defined

What does the FizzBuzz algorithm return for a number divisible by both 3 and 5?

• The number itself

• FizzBuzz

• Buzz

• Fizz

In the FizzBuzz algorithm, what is returned for a number that is not divisible by 3 or 5?

• Fizz

• Buzz

• FizzBuzz

• The number itself
