Function Part 2

The document discusses the differences between interfaces and implementations, and defines pure and impure functions. A pure function always returns the same output for the same input, has no side effects, and does not depend on or modify external variables. An impure function may produce different outputs for the same input, can have side effects like logging or writing to disk, and can modify variables outside of the function. Pure functions are preferable because they are predictable and have no external dependencies.
