Laurie is designing a type of candy dispenser for use at grocery stores. When pressure is applied to a lever by the customer, candy will fall into a container.

On the contrary, in a function for each input there is an output, a possible result, which is what they tell us in the statement.

Therefore this situation is represented by a function.
