This document discusses Python programming concepts including fruitful functions, return values, incremental development, nested functions, Boolean functions, recursion, and type checking. Fruitful functions allow a function to return a value that can be used. Return values terminate function execution, and code after a return is dead code. Incremental development adds and tests small amounts of code at a time to avoid long debugging sessions. Nested functions allow one function to be called within another through composition. Boolean functions return True or False values. Recursion and type checking with isinstance are also covered.

- 4. • As soon as a return statement executes, the function terminates without executing any subsequent statements. • Code that appears after a return statement is called dead code. Return values
- 5. Return values Function: Statement 3 Statement 4 Statement 5 Statement 6 …. …. Program: Statement 1 Statement 2 Call function Statement 7 Call function …. …. Executed Function without return
- 6. Return values Function: Statement 3 Statement 4 return Statement 5 Statement 6 …. …. Program: Statement 1 Statement 2 Call function Statement 7 Call function …. …. Executed Function with return Dead code

- 8. Incremental development • Larger functions are difficult to debug. • To deal with complex programs, use incremental development. • The goal of incremental development is to avoid long debugging sessions by adding and testing only a small amount of code at a time.
- 9. Incremental development • Suppose you want to find the distance between two points, given by the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). • By the Pythagorean theorem, the distance is:

- 11. Nested functions • We can call one function from within another. This ability is called composition.
