Methods and Return Values: Parrot Lab

Learning Goals

• Define a method that accepts arguments.
• Create a default argument.
• Practice returning a value.

Instructions

In this lab you'll be defining a method called parrot.

The parrot method should accept an argument of a string and both puts out that string and return the string at the end of the method.

The parrot method should have a default argument of "Squawk!".

Note: This lab is explicitly testing your ability to control the return value of a method, not just what it does, but what it returns. Remember, return values are important. Ask yourself? what is the return value of puts?
