Two identical pieces of code can have different specifications.
# x is an age of a person; the code checks if the person is past the retirement age in the US
def is_of_retirement_age(x):
return x >= 65;
# x is an ASCII character which is already known to be alphanumeric; this code checks if it’s a letter.
def is_ascii_letter(x):
return x >= 65;
