Double Value Function

 Objective

Develop a Python function named "double" to calculate and return an integer that is twice its input. For example, double(7) should return 14.

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Define the function double which calculates and returns twice the input integer
def double(num):
    return num * 2  # Return the double of the input number

# Main function to call double and display the result
def main():
    result = double(7)  # Call the double function with the number 7
    print("The double of 7 is {}".format(result))  # Print the result

# Call the main function to execute the program
main()

 Output

The double of 7 is 14
