Let's examine the mechanism to call a function using Python Tutor. A Python program is a global frame in which
functions and statements appear (see Fig 8.3a). When the code in the Python script pattern2.py is executed,
Python encounters the definitions of functions triangle() (lines 1–10) in the global frame and makes a note of it
(see Fig 8.3a).
