def add_six(val):
return val + 6;
In this case, "val" is the single parameter.

229,771 PointsOK, so the structure will be similar to my example but the expression that the function returns will be different.

229,771 PointsThose {} characters are normally called "braces" or "curly braces", and they mark the beginning and end of a function's code body in JavaScript. But I see now that your question relates to Python so I changed the example.
