1. Data type of f is function type(f)
2. b can be everything. In your call b is temp and temp is a list. Python is a dynamic language.
3. A function definition
4. ASCII characters on your screen
5. I won't. I looks like a max, min output. The variable names are bad, I think the guy wanted to show the concept of finding a maximum and minimum value. But as an explanation it's a bad example.
The type list has also a sort function. In this case you can do an inline sort and get the first element (min-value) and the last element (max-value) out of the list.
You should start with the basics. You don't know very much at the moment. What you should learn are the built-in functions, data types, slicing, loops and functions.

def max_min(sequence): v_max = v_min = sequence[0] # get the first element of the sequence and assign it to the name v_max and v_min for value in sequence: # iterating over the sequence if (value > v_max): v_max = value if (value < v_min): v_min = value return v_max, v_minWe use Python because it's easy. Don't reinvent the wheel. If you want to get the max and min values from a list, just use the built-in functions.
temp_max = max(temp) temp_min = min(temp)You can also write it in one line:
temp_max, temp_min = max(temp), min(temp)Or if you want as a function:
def max_min(sequence): return max(sequence), min(sequence)The first example of min_max has one benefit. This function has to iterate only one time over the list to get the smallest and highest value.
The type list has also a sort function. In this case you can do an inline sort and get the first element (min-value) and the last element (max-value) out of the list.
temp.sort() temp_min, temp_max = temp[0], temp[-1]Negative indices's means start from the right side of the list. -1 is the last eleemt, 0 is the first element.
