A function is a rule that gives exactly one output for each input. The input could be the day of the week and the output could be the number of children in the car. In the table each day is paired with exactly one number (for example Sunday → 2 and Saturday → 0). Because no day is matched with more than one number (even if some days have the same number), the table shows a function.
