 must be invoked without arguments
 must be invoked with exactly one argument
 may be invoked with any number of arguments (including zero)
3. A built-in function is a function which:
 has to be imported before use
 is hidden from programmers
 has been placed within your code by another programmer
 comes with Python, and is an integral part of Python 
4. The fact that tuples belong to sequence types
means:
 they can be modified using the del instruction
 they can be indexed and sliced like lists
 they are actually lists
 they can be extended using the .append() method

if x == 0:
return 0

print(f(3))

b
c

dct = { }
lst = [‘a’,’b’,’c’,’d’]
for i in range(len(lst) – 1):
dct[lst[i]] = ( lst[i], )
for i in sorted(dct.keys()):
k = dct[i]
# insert your code
 print(k[0])
 print(k)

 is erroneous
 will return None

elements
