def findValue( vall = 1.1, val2, val3):
final = (val2 + val3)/ vall
print(final)
findvalue() #function callAssertion (A): If the arguments in function call statement match the number and order of arguments as defined in the function definition, such arguments are called positional arguments.
Reasoning (R): During a function call, the argument list first contains default argument(s) followed by the positional argument(s).
