def func():
print "hello world"

Hi all,
How do I make Python get a def? Is it the "get" function, or something
else? I need to know so that I can get a def for that computer
MasterMind(tm) game that I'm writing.
BTW, I took your advice, and wrote some definitions for my Giant
Calculator program. Might make the code easier to read, but harder to
code
because I have to keep going to the top to read the menu. Not that fun,
but
necessary for a smooth program, I guess.
