Python For EveryBody

The document contains a series of questions about Python functions. It begins by asking which Python keyword indicates the start of a function definition ("def"), how to indicate the end of a function block (by de-indenting), and what the raw_input() feature is best described as (a built-in function). It then provides several code examples and asks what they would print out or return. The questions cover function definitions, arguments, returns, and the main benefit of writing your own functions (avoiding writing the same code more than once).
