title: Basics of defining procedures in Python?
body: <p>Hey Guys I am pretty new to Python and I am learning this programming language. I am using the Python IDE (GUI) for running all my codes. I have covered till the topic of defining custom procedures. However upon execution it is not giving any output.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code below. I want to define a procedure for adding two numbers then print the result for any two numbers that I enter. </p>
  
  <pre><code>def sum(a,b):
      print "The Sum Program"
      c = sum(10,14)
      print "If a is "+a+" and b is "+b++ then sum of the them is "+c
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What do you think I am doing wrong here?</p>
