Description: Figure out two things about these mystery
functions to help you study for the test:
1) What data types can be passed in as the different parameters?
2) Overall, what is the mystery function doing?

Potential Data types
--------------------
        Integer
        String
        Float
        List
        Dictionary
        Set
        File
        Boolean

#What types can parameter b be?
