Word scramble
Unscramble the letters and write each key term on the line.
1

Creates numbers from 0 up to but not including stop.
2
NRGTA(ATESR, TSPO)
Creates numbers from start up to but not including stop.
3
NATRG(SATRE, OTSP, ESTP)
Creates numbers from start, stepping by step, up to but not including stop.
4
PEST
How much to count by - default is 1, use -1 to count backwards.
5
YTR
Block containing code that might cause an error.
6
TEPCEX
Block that runs only when an error occurs in the try block.
7
EORALRVURE
Error when a value is the wrong type e.g. int('abc').
8
RERRO GDAINNHL
Using try/except to manage errors without crashing.
9
KBRAE
Immediately exits the entire loop.
10
ICUNENTO
Skips the rest of this iteration and goes to the next one.
11
HIWEL UETR: + EBKAR
Common pattern: loop forever until a condition triggers break.

Using break and continue to control the flow of a loop.
13
EDF
Keyword that creates (defines) a new function.
14
NFTCNIUO
A reusable block of code with a name.
15
ACLL
Running a function by writing its name with parentheses.
16
NIUFCTNO YDOB
The indented code that runs when the function is called.
17
AEARREPMT
A variable name in the function definition that receives data.
18

UNRRET AEVLU
The value a function sends back when it finishes.
23
OENN
Default return value when no return statement is used.

EPSOC
Where a variable can be accessed - local or global.
26
COALL ILRAEVAB
Variable inside a function that only exists in that function.

A pre-set value used when no argument is provided.
30
TILOOAPN ERATAERPM
A parameter with a default that the caller can skip.
31
UIDQRERE EAERRAMPT
A parameter without a default that the caller must provide.
32
