Hi Amy

Your function will need function parameters, to which values will be
passed to:

def printID(studentName, studentNumber):
    print "Student Name: %s. Student Number: %d" %(studentName,
studentNumber)

Then you invoke the function like this:

printID("Amy Davidson", 111111111)

Hope this helps
