Question 3 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701

Why is correct function syntax important?

Answer
A
If a function is not written and formatted correctly, the Python development environment will crash.
B
If a function is not written correctly, it will run, but the rest of the program will return strange results.
C
If a function is not written correctly, Python will run only half of the statements.
D
If a function is not written and formatted correctly, Python will not be able to run it successfully.

Explanation

Python must be able to parse a function’s syntax and indentation before it can run the function. If the function is written or formatted incorrectly, Python reports an error and cannot run it successfully. Choice D states this; an error does not necessarily crash the entire development environment, as choice A suggests.
