CS1 Python Subgoals

Section 9.4 Evaluate Functions-WE2-P1

Subgoals for evaluating a function call:.

  1. Create stack frame for global variables
  2. Ensure function is defined before function call before beginning body of function
  3. Determine parameter values based on positional arguments, keyword arguments, and default values to initialize local variables
  4. Use stack frame for function to trace local variables
  5. At return to call site, pass values back to call site
  6. Delete stack frame with local variables after return to call site
