    <p>I have the following script that is taken from a python game development book. The author explains everything, except for one thing. I tried to figure it out myself, but as a beginner it is not making much sense. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>import random import time def displayIntro(): print('You are on a planet full of dragons. In front of you,') print('you see two caves. In one cave, the dragon os friendly') print('and will share his treasure with you. The other dragon') print('is greedy and hungry, and will eat you on sight.') print() def chooseCave(): cave='' while cave != '1' and cave != '2': print('Which cave will you go into? (1 or 2)') cave=input() return cave def checkCave(chosenCave): print('You approach the cave...') time.sleep(2) print('It is dark and spooky...') time.sleep(2) print('A large dragon jumps out in front of you! He opens his jaws and...') print() time.sleep(3) friendlyCave=random.randint(1,2) if chosenCave==str(friendlyCave): print('Gives you his treasure!') else: print('Gobbles you down in one bite.') playAgain='yes' while playAgain=='yes' or playAgain=='y': displayIntro() caveNumber=chooseCave() checkCave(caveNumber) print('Do you want to play again? (yes or no)') playAgain=input() </code></pre> <p>Now my question is this: how does the parameter <code>chosenCave</code> get a value? To me it seems that it wasn't defined anywhere. We defined what <code>cave</code> is and what <code>friendlyCave</code> is, but not <code>chosenCave</code>. What is happening here? What am I missing? </p> <p>Sorry if this is a complete beginner question. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
