Question Number 2 - printTwice

I'm back with another simple question.

I won't dwell over this like I did the last one. I'd just like to know why the author of the book I've been reading says

printTwice(5)

Gives the result

5 5

He has a few different examples all to do with the printTwice call but when I try and do it, it says

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>

NameError: name 'printTwice' is not defined

Thanks.

Re: Question Number 2 - printTwice

Because, presumably, you haven't defined printTwice in that script / interactive session. My guess is you're reading a bit too fast and missed something like:

def printTwice(arg):

    print arg

    print arg

Yes you are correct.

Thanks for that. Not sure how I missed it but I thought it was like "print" but just printed it twice instead of once.

Thanks again.
