A data engineer that is new to using Python needs to create a Python function to add two integers together and return the sum? Which of the following code blocks can the data engineer use to complete this task?
A
function add_integers(x, y):
return x + y
function add_integers(x, y):
return x + y
B
function add_integers(x, y):
x + y
function add_integers(x, y):
x + y
C
def add_integers(x, y):
print(x + y)
def add_integers(x, y):
print(x + y)
D
(No code block shown)
Explanation:
None of the provided options A, B, or C correctly implement a Python function that adds two integers and returns the sum:
Option A: Uses function keyword which is not valid Python syntax. Python uses def to define functions.
Option B: Also uses invalid function keyword and doesn't return the result (just computes x + y without returning it).
Option C: Uses correct def syntax but prints the result instead of returning it. The function would output to console but not return a value that can be used programmatically.
Option D: Since none of the provided code blocks are correct, the correct answer is D (no code block shown).
A correct implementation would be:
def add_integers(x, y):
return x + y
def add_integers(x, y):
return x + y
This function:
def to define the functionx and yreturn statement
