YouTube Playlist:    • MIT 6.100L Introduction to CS and Programm...   An introduction to functions and their decomposition, abstractions, and specifications. Functions allow us to suppress detail from a user and capture computation within a black box. A programmer writes functions with 0 or more inputs and something to return. A function only runs when it is called and the entire function call is replaced with the return value.
