You are given date strings of the form ``29, Jul 2009'', or ``4 January 2008''. In other words a number, a string and another number, with a comma sometimes separating the items.\\Write a function that takes such a string and returns a tuple (yyyy, mm, dd) where all three elements are ints.

\section{Functions}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Functions}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item \kwrd{def} - keyword to define a function
    \item Arguments are local to a function
    \item Docstrings are important!
    \item Functions can return multiple values
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Functions: example}
  \begin{lstlisting}
def signum( r ):
    """returns 0 if r is zero
    -1 if r is negative
    +1 if r is positive"""
    if r < 0:
        return -1
    elif r > 0:
        return 1
    else:
        return 0
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  {What does this function do?}
\begin{lstlisting}
def what( n ):
    i = 1
    while i * i < n:
        i += 1
    return i * i == n, i
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Default arguments}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Functions: default arguments}
  \small
  \begin{lstlisting}

            return True
        if ok in ('n', 'no', 'nop',
                  'nope'): 
            return False
        print complaint

ask_ok('?')
ask_ok('?', '[Y/N]')
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Built-in functions}
\begin{frame}
  {Before writing a function}
  \begin{itemize}
      \item Variety of builtin functions are available
      \item \typ{abs, any, all, len, max, min}
      \item \typ{pow, range, sum, type}
      \item Refer here:
          \url{http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html}
  \end{itemize}
  \inctime{10} 
\end{frame}

\subsection{Exercises}
\begin{frame}{Problem set 3: Problem 3.1}
  Write a function to return the gcd of two numbers.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 3.2}
Write a program to print all primitive pythagorean triads (a, b, c) where a, b are in the range 1---100 \\
A pythagorean triad $(a,b,c)$ has the property $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.\\By primitive we mean triads that do not `depend' on others. For example, (4,3,5) is a variant of (3,4,5) and hence is not primitive. And (10,24,26) is easily derived from (5,12,13) and is also not primitive.
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 3.3}
  Write a program that generates a list of all four digit numbers that have all their digits even and are perfect squares.\newline\\\emph{For example, the output should include 6400 but not 8100 (one digit is odd) or 4248 (not a perfect square).}
\inctime{15}
\end{frame}

\section{Modules}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
    {Modules}
\begin{lstlisting}

>>> math.sqrt(2)
1.4142135623730951
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
    {Modules}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item The \kwrd{import} keyword ``loads'' a module
    \item One can also use:
      \begin{lstlisting}
>>> from math import sqrt
>>> from math import *
      \end{lstlisting}    
    \item What is the difference?
    \item \alert{Use the latter only in interactive mode}
