Welcome to the list.

We're not in the business of doing assignments for you. We will help you
to (learn how to) do-stuff with Python.


Recommend you review the material just-covered in the course. Surely the
topic is covered there?


To amplify your learning, consider accessing other tutorial sites and/or
books to be able to cross-reference between that/them and your course
materials - when you don't understand one, the other will help-hopefully.


What is a method?
What do we call/term a 'method' that is not part of a class?
If we have a simple method which doubles or triples its input (say), how
do we input/pass that input-information into the method?

Hint: be aware that two words appear to be used for the same thing - but
there is a difference when one considers what is happening when
*defining* a method, compared with when that method is *call*ed!

Also please note: there is no such thing as an "array" in Python. Python
offers "collections" - in various forms.
