EXPECTED OUTPUT FOR THE SAMPLE
Hello, Student Hello, Bhavya
PROGRAM EXPLANATION
Algorithm and explanation
- Initialize the sample values used to use a default argument.
- Apply Default argument and Function to compute the required result.
- Display the result for use a default argument and compare it with the documented sample output.
This example of use a default argument computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates Default argument and Function and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

Common mistakes
For use a default argument, keep the data shape and value types consistent with Default argument.
Keep every dependent statement inside the correct indented Python block.
Verify the final Default argument and Function result against the sample before trying new data.
