Python 1 Module 3 Lesson 5 Banner

Overview

The student will consider the following...

Being able to understand the full functionality of a Python function is another important skill for programmers. Also, remember that you want your programs to be readable and understandable by other programmers that might need to use them and also by you at a later time. One way that we can make our programs more readable is by using comments.
