Many thanks to all who responded. I was an experienced programmer until I retired nearly 20 years ago, mainly in the military weapons area then XBase when I left the military. I decided I had to learn Python when my grandson started learning it at school if I wanted to retain my position as the family IT guru 😊 I have been able to find answers to most problems by Googling but couldn't work out a suitable query for this one. I have signed up for the tutors list.
Thanks again John Weller 01380 723235 07976 393631 -----Original Message----- From: Python-list <python-list-bounces+john=johnweller.co...@python.org> On Behalf Of DL Neil via Python-list Sent: 10 June 2020 22:13 To: python-list@python.org Subject: Re: Syntax Help On 11/06/20 4:56 AM, John Weller wrote: > I am trying to learn python.

Try https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html and its several discussions about def[ining] functions and parameters. Please also be aware that there is also a Python-Tutor Discussion List which has the specific objective of supporting learners (follow link, below). -- Regards =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
