argument passing :/

Mar 28th, 2009

Hi everyone. I'm having a little trouble trying to understand what argument passing really is. I know that it 'passes' arguments, but what does that actually mean and how can you use it to my advantage?

ex:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
def New(spam,n=1):
def New(spam,n=1):

so what does that actually do?

This online book has a good explanation of arguments http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python_...ming/Functions After that, the best way to learn is to try a few things yourself, print the results, and see what is happening.
