Module 3 Quiz - Functions and Modules: Last Question.

Question

I struggled with this question and found the answer, so I thought I'd share.

def func(x): # defines the function name and input parameter
res=0 # created a variable that is right now set to 0
for i in range(x): # this has two parts, for-loop, and a range function both explained below
res += i # this adds 1 to the variable 'res' each time the for-loop loops
return res # end of the function, passes the variables value back to the caller

print(func(5)) # call the function while passing 5 as an argument

# for i in range(5) = i in range of [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
# so res += i
# is res += [0,1,2,3,4]
# since res = 0
# 0 += 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10

def func(x): # defines the function name and input parameter
res=0 # created a variable that is right now set to 0
for i in range(x): # this has two parts, for-loop, and a range function both explained below
res += i # this adds 1 to the variable 'res' each time the for-loop loops
return res # end of the function, passes the variables value back to the caller

print(func(10)) # call the function while passing 10 as an argument

# it will print 0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45
