Python 3.4 - Default Values for Arguments

Functions do things. Functions are made of arguments: "In mathematics, an argument of a function is a specific input in the function, also known as an independent variable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_of_a_function

If I made a function called amount_of_hits_per_boxer I would need to arguments (name, hits)

The function would look something like this:

def amounts_of_hits_per_boxer(name, hits= 0):
    print(name, hits)

amounts_of_hits_per_boxer('Tyson =', 34)
 
The output would be Tyson = 34. By giving hits a default value of zero, if there is no input for hits, no 34, than we would just get a return of Tyson = 0. If you don't give arguments default values it can mess up our program, simply stated.

def get_gender(sex= 'Unknown'):
    if sex is 'm':
        sex = 'Male'    elif sex is 'f':
        sex = 'Female'    print(sex)

get_gender('m')
get_gender('f')
get_gender()
