Functions revisited
1. A function is defined with a name and a set of parentheses followed by a colon
2. A def is a function
3. It also has a key word: def at the left side, no indentation
4. It should be defined right after any imports
5. If the function needs a value from another function, it should be inside the
parentheses. This is called the argument
6. If there is more than one argument, it is called an argument list
7. If there are no arguments, it is called an empty argument list
