15. Default parameters can be skipped in function call?
16. Variable defined inside functions cannot have global scope?
17. A python function may return multiple values?
18. Positional arguments can follow keyword arguments?
19. If function returns multiple values, then it will return as List.
ASSERTION & REASONING
1. A: The function header ‘def read (a=2, b=5, c):’ is not
correct.
R: Non default arguments can’t follow default arguments.
2. A function code is given as follows:
def study (num = 5):
print(num + 5)
A: We can call the above function either by statement
'study(7)' or 'study( )'.
R: As the function contains default arguments, it depends
on the caller that the above function can be called with
or without the value.
3. A: len( ), type( ), int( ), input( ) are the functions that are
always available for use.
R: Built in functions are predefined functions that are
always available for use. For using them we don’t need
to import any module.
4. A:
def Disp(x,y,z):
print(x+y+z)
z=10
Disp(x=67,y=78,z)
print(max_of_three(3, 6, -5))
