Hey im knew to programing and i got these examples out of the book THE QUICK
PYTHON GUIDE. I understand all the other examples but these 2 just stump me.
Can anyone help explain them to me??
This example gives the factorial of a number
def fact(n):
r=1
while n >0:
r=r*n
n=n-1
return r
This one calculates a number (x) to a number (Y) which has an initial
setting to 2
def power(x, y=2):
r=1
while y>0:
r=r*x
y=y-1
return r
thanks
