No, it's just a place holder.

It would be incorrect (in Python) to not define the function. So, you 
place the 'pass' statement there to avoid causing errors when testing 
your program. Without the pass statement, I believe one would be 
required to comment out the undefined function in order to execute the 
program. Maybe this is not needed in Ruby???
