17. Assertion (A): Positional arguments in Python functions must be passed in

the exact order in which they are defined in the function
signature. (1)
Reasoning (R): This is because Python functions automatically assign
default values to positional arguments.

HAVING clauses.
Reasoning (R): WHERE and HAVING clauses are used to check (1)
conditions, therefore, these can be used interchangeably.

It rained yesterday
It might rain today
I wish it rains tomorrow too
