Function Definition Property

if the following are true:

  • the line at time t = i
  • the tab at time t = j
  • statement at line i, tab j = function definition where name: name and parameters: params

then there is a function named name with parameters params at line line

If the current statement is a function definition, LW Python will remember the name of the function, parameters required by the function, and the location (line number). For example,

if the following are true:

  • the line at time 0 = 1
  • the tab at time 0 = 0
  • statement at line 1, tab 0 = def add_three(x):

then there is a function named "add_three" with parameters [ x, [ ] ] at line 1
