Document Summary

Function call: a statement with a function that takes the form of the function name ( the argument) and evaluates each argument from left to right. Pass: in function call, the argument (variable or expression) is passed to the function for the parameter to be bound to the arguments which can be other functions such as abs in a pow function. Returns: the number that it produces after executing the functions. If you don"t have a return statement in a function, nothing is produced (value is none)= return none. Some computations are complex, and breaking them down into separate steps can lead to clearer code. Process of calling a function: as the function definition is read, it first checks for valid syntax, it creates a frame for that function but skips the body of it.
