[sf-lug] [PYCLASS] Session 3: Monday Oct 6

   i don't think it ever will be. 
   each function call resolves to the value 
it returns (my sloppy example did not include 
an explicit return statement in the function 
body, i can't remember if the chapters 
included that info). 
   assuming "la la la" includes a return 
statement, do_twice(6,3) would return 216, 
do_twice(6,2) would return 36, do_once(6) 
would return 6, all while the interpreter 
was still working on the statement: the 
values would remain while the addition 
operation was resolved, then the sum would 
be assigned to answer.
