Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Write a pure function multiply(a, b) that takes two integers and returns their product. In what scenarios can this function be problematic if it were impure?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what happens when external states are modified.

Question 2

Discuss how you would implement immutability in a Python program. Describe a scenario where maintaining immutable state is necessary.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how you can ensure that once data is set, it cannot be altered by any future operations.
