functions





                                      Well, duh, it‛s pretty obvious really...
                                      you need a version of the function
                                      that tweets the low price and
                                      another that tweets an emergency
                                      order. How hard is that?



















                           def send_to_twitter():
                                 # original code here...

           T ake the original
           Twitter code and
           create two new
           functions.



                   def send_to_twitter_price_low():                  def send_to_twitter_emergency():
                         # original code here...                           # original code here...
                         # ...but change message to                        # ... but change message to
                         # buy at low price.                               # place an emergency order.



                                                                           Lines that start with # are known
                                                                            as comments in Python. Comments

                                                                            coder and are meant to be read by

                                                                            Python ignores all comments, because
                Something doesn’t feel quite right about this solution.     other coders working with the code.
                Can you see the problem that this creates? Can you          they aren't executable code.
                think of a solution that fixes the problem?
