PROGRAM EXPLANATION
Algorithm and explanation
- Initialize the sample values used to pass function arguments.
- Apply Parameters and Arguments to compute the required result.
- Display the result for pass function arguments and compare it with the documented sample output.
This example of pass function arguments computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates Parameters, Arguments, and return and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

Common mistakes
For pass function arguments, keep the data shape and value types consistent with Parameters.
Keep every dependent statement inside the correct indented Python block.
Verify the final Parameters and Arguments result against the sample before trying new data.
