[Type C] Working with Functions – Chapter 3 Sumita Arora

2. Write a function to calculate the volume of a box with appropriate default values for its parameters. Your function should have the following input parameters:

• (a) Length of the box;
• (b) Width of the box;
• (c) Height of the box.
• Test it by writing a complete program to invoke it.

Short Answer: A function will be created to calculate the volume of a box with default values for its parameters. It will take the length, width, and height of the box as input parameters.

def calculate_volume(length=5, width=5, height=5):
    return length * width * height

# Test Program
length = 10
width = 2
height = 3
print("Volume of the box:", calculate_volume(length, width, height))

Explanation:

• The function calculate_volume calculates the volume of the box using the formula length × width × height. It has default values set to 5 for all parameters for testing purposes.
• The test program demonstrates how to invoke the function with specific values for length, width, and height.
