In first line you are creating a new function.function name is print_nums and (x) is we are passing parameter in function.we need some parameters in function according to our need to work with function. e.g Let you have a x variable and you want to print it with the help of function.you can create a function and pass a parameter with name anything let(x) which refer to x variable means now function has x variable copy,which you want to print.here x is parameter for our function. Other code is function logic.
