I'm trying to define a function to calculate the area of a triangle, followed by inputing the height and base to calculate the output. However, it doesn't produce any result, I wonder if I'm correct?

def tri_area(base, height):
    return  base * height / 2

tri_area(2, 3)

Solution 1

Open ipython console and type:

In [1]: def tri_area(base, height):
   ...:     return  base * height / 2

close the line with Shift + Return and type the next line

In [2]: tri_area(2, 3)

and close it with Return. You will see your output:

Out[2]: 3
