Beginning Python (Video 31)

This video tutorial covers the creation of two types of functions in programming: one that returns a value and another that is a void function, which does not return a value. The tutorial includes examples of a string reversal function and a palindrome checker. It also explains the use of the 'pass' keyword to avoid errors and discusses the handling of return statements in void functions. The video concludes with a brief mention of alternative implementations and a preview of future content.

What is the difference between a void function and a function that returns a value?

What is the significance of the 'pass' keyword in a function?

How do you reverse a string in a function?

Explain the process of looping backwards through a string to reverse it.

What is a palindrome and how can you check if a number is a palindrome?

Why is it important to check only half of the string when determining if it is a palindrome?

What does it mean for a function to be a void function?
