def double(10): print(f"The number {num} doubled is {num*2}")

Answer 1

The code you've provided contains a few issues that need to be resolved in order for the function to work correctly. Here’s the corrected version:

1. You should use a valid parameter name instead of just a number (like `10`).
2. The parameter name in the function definition should be used consistently within the function.
3. The corrected parameter name should replace `num` which is not defined.

Here's the fixed code:

```python
def double(num):
print(f"The number {num} doubled is {num * 2}")

# Example of how to call the function
double(10)
```

You can now run `double(10)` and it should print:

```
The number 10 doubled is 20
```
