Help!

Maybe you already know the name of a Python function, but you still have to figure out how to use it. Ironically, you have to ask for information about a function with another function: help(). In IPython specifically, you can also use ? before the function name.

To get help on the max() function, for example, you can use one of these calls:

help(max)
?max

Use the IPython Shell to open up the documentation on pow(). Do this by typing ?pow or help(pow) and hitting Enter.

Which of the following statements is true?
