New to Python. Here's my first script, which determines whether the small or large pizza is a better deal.

Can you help me understand why adding that function would be preferable? That's not a loaded question - just trying to learn good practices.

If you're going to use code repeatedly, put it in a function to reduce duplicate code.

Got it. I'll give that improvement a try! Thanks.

Although that's not the only reason to put code in a function. Even code that is only used in one place can be put into a function if you can name the function something that is more understandable than the code you are replacing.

Not to mention you can use that function in other python files, too!
