\subsection{Default arguments}
\begin{frame}[fragile]

  \begin{lstlisting}
In []: greet = 'hello world'

In []: greet.split()
Out[]: ['hello', 'world']

In []: line = 'Rossum, Guido, 54, 46, 55'

  ....     print greet, name

Hello World

Hi Guido

\subsection{Keyword arguments}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Functions: Keyword arguments}
We have seen the following
\begin{lstlisting}
legend(['sin(2y)'], loc = 'center')

plot(y, sin(y), 'g', linewidth = 2)

annotate('local max', xy = (1.5, 1))

Hello James

In []: welcome("Hi", name="Guido")
Hi Guido

In []: welcome(name="Guido", greet="Hey")
Hey Guido
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\subsection{Built-in functions}
\begin{frame}
  {Before writing a function}
  \begin{itemize}
      \item Variety of built-in 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).}
