By the way … What is this? (y = 3)
By the way … What is this? (y = 3)
=> y + 1 It was a new function!
By the way … What is this? (y = 3)
It was NOT a new function!
By the way … What is this? (y = 3)
It was NOT a new function! DIFFICULT PART
By the way … What is this? (y = 3)
It was NOT a new function! Needs grammar change too
