861 PointsCommand as a function? What?
Why are you named functions exit() and quit() as commands? Are they even functions? I'm confused. Can someone, please disassembled me in strict rules when is what a command, when is a statement and when is a function. How many else terms are in python which should I know on purpose to not come in these situations?

Treehouse Project ReviewerThey are system functions within python. when you call the function, is runs to exit out of the python repl. sys.exit is used to kill a script.
