Question

In this lab, you will:

  • create a function according to the specifications
  • check on the type
  • practice if/else statement

Instructions

In this lab, we will practice writing functions that both display (ie: print) and return values. This will all be done in the word_mult() function below.

Given two inputs, write a function word_mult(word1, word2) that will:

  • Confirm both word1 and word2 are of type str
    • If they are both strings, compute the product of the two string lengths. Then print the following:

Both "<string 1>" and "<string 2>" are strings. The product of their lengths is <product of string lengths>.

and return <product of string lengths>.

  • If they are not both strings, print the following:

Incorrect argument type found. Expected strings.

Then return False.

Hint: Remember, printing and returning a value are different. You can print strings on-screen with the command print(<string>) and return a function's output with return.
