Quiz on Function Parameters in Python

Describe a scenario where using parameters in a function enhances code readability and maintainability.

Explain the difference between a function parameter and a function argument in Python with examples.

What are default parameters in Python functions?

Describe a scenario where you would use a default parameter in a function. How do they differ from a normal parameter?

What is the purpose of parameters in a Python function?

• To store temporary values within the function

• To limit the execution time of the function

• To provide input values and configuration to the function

• To define global variables for the function

Which choice accurately describes the purpose of function parameters in Python?

• They are used to control the flow of execution within the function.

• They allow functions to modify global variables.

• They enable reusability and customization of functions by accepting input values.

• They determine the number of arguments a function can accept.

• both c. and d.

What is the primary role of function arguments in Python?

• They supply values to parameters when the function is called.

• They define the function's name and return type.

• They help in structuring loops within the function.

• They define the function's internal logic and operations.

In Python, what happens if a function is defined without any parameters?

• The function cannot be called without passing arguments.

• The function automatically assigns default parameters.

• The function does not accept any arguments when called.

• The function will result in a syntax error.

What is the significance of default parameters in Python functions?

• They define parameters that must always be passed when calling the function.

• They provide initial values for parameters if no arguments are passed during the function call.

• They allow a function to have multiple return values.

• They restrict the number of arguments that can be passed to a function.

Describe and illustrate two different ways to construct a return statement in Python functions.
