\frametitle{Objectives}
\label{sec-2}

 At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to, 


\begin{itemize}
\item Assign default values to arguments, when defining functions.
\item Define and call functions with keyword arguments.
\item Learn some of the built-in functions available in Python standard 
    library and the scientific computing libraries.
\end{itemize}

s.strip() #strips on spaces. 
s.strip('@') #strips the string of '@' symbols.

plot(x, y) #plots x v/s y using default line style. 
plot(x, y, 'o') #plots x v/s y with circle markers. 

linspace(0,2*pi,100) #returns 100 pts. between 0 & 2pi
linspace(0,2*pi) #returns 50 pts. between 0 & 2pi

\frametitle{Exercise 1}
\label{sec-5}


\begin{itemize}
\item Redefine the function \verb~welcome~, by interchanging it's
  arguments.
\vspace{3pt}  
  Place the \verb~name~ argument with it's default value of
  ``World'' before the \verb~greet~ argument.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\frametitle{Solution 1}
\label{sec-6}

\lstset{language=Python}
\begin{lstlisting}
def welcome(name="World", greet):
    print greet, name
\end{lstlisting}
\vspace{5pt}
  We get an error that reads, \\ \verb~SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default~ 
\verb~argument~.
\vspace{5pt}
\\ When defining a function all the
  argument with default values should come at the end.
\end{frame}

\frametitle{Exercise 2}
\label{sec-7}


\begin{itemize}
\item See the definition of linspace using \verb~?~ and make a note of all the
  arguments with default values are towards the end.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Exercise 3}
\label{sec-8}


\begin{itemize}
\item Redefine the function \verb~welcome~ with a default value of
  ``Hello'' to the \verb~greet~ argument.\\ 
  Then, call the function without any arguments.

\frametitle{Summary}
\label{sec-12}

 In this tutorial, we have learnt to, 


\begin{itemize}
\item Define functions with default arguments.
\item Call functions using keyword arguments.
\item Use the range of functions available in the Python standard library 
   and the Scientific Computing related packages.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Evaluation}
\label{sec-13}


\begin{enumerate}
\item All arguments of a function cannot have default values.
 True or False?
\vspace{3pt} 
\item The following is a valid function definition. True or False? 
\lstset{language=Python}
\begin{lstlisting}
def seperator(count=40, char, show=False):
     if show:
          print char * count
     return char * count
\end{lstlisting}
\vspace{3pt}
\item When calling a function,
\begin{itemize}
\item the arguments should always be in the order in which they are defined.
\item only keyword arguments can be in any order, but should be called
     at the beginning.
\item only keyword arguments can be in any order, but should be called at the end.
\end{itemize}
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}

\frametitle{Solutions}
\label{sec-14}


\begin{enumerate}
\item False
\vspace{12pt}
\item False
\vspace{12pt}
\item Only keyword arguments can be in any order, 
   but should be called at the end.
\end{enumerate}
