I had a question regarding functions. Is there a way to call a function
multiple times without recalling it over and over. Meaning is there a
way I can call a function and then add *5 or something like that?
The usual way to call a function several times is to use a loop, like this:
for i in range(5):
my_function()
The function "range" returns the sequence of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 [*],
so this has the same effect as if you had typed:
my_function()
my_function()
my_function()
my_function()
my_function()
This isn't a great advantage if you just want to call the function two or
three times, but when you want to call it two or three hundred times it
matters a lot more! You can still use the same technique if you want to
pass different parameters to the function each time you call it:
for i in range(6):
print(i*i)
for day in ("Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri"):
do_stuff_for_day(day)
