1. #Q1: How does the random.randint(_,_) work?

   • The random.randint(x,y) function returns a random integer in between bounds x and y.
     • #Q2: What is "random" and what is the purpose of using the period (.) before randint?
       • "random" represents the imported library that contains many functions. The period (.) separates the function from the # library that it is called from
         • #Q3: What does the function print(_) do in the next line of code?
           • print(_) prints the inside code in the window when the line is ran.
             • #Q4: What is the purpose of the (+) operator in the next line of code?
               • The (+) operator concatenates the code so that the print function will include the different data types.
                 • #Q5: What is the purpose of the function str(_) in the next line of code?
                   • str(_) converts an object to a string
                     • #Q6: Is this variable (largest) global or local? Why?
                       • largest is a local variable since it can only be used within the getLargestRandom() function
                         • #Q7: What does None mean?
                           • None is a data type that is equivalent to no value
                             • #Q8: What is inputValue? Why is it necessary for this function?
                               • inputValue is the randomly generated number that will be used as the comparison for each conditional statement
                                 • #Q9: What does return do?
                                   • return tells the function what the output value should be
                                     • #Q10: What is the difference between declaring, defining, and calling a function?
                                       • Declaring is the same as creating a function
                                       • Defining a function is using the def keyword to create and name a function
                                         • # Q11: How was the variable message built?
                                           • The variable message was built through string concatenation, with a mixture of strings and variables that are added # together in the end to form a final message
                                       • Calling a function means using the function in the code and can be called by using the name and parentheses with arguments inside
