Script does not work when executed with sudo

Question

Linux bash script:

  function Print ()
 {
     echo $ 1
 }

 Print "OK"

This script succeeds when executed directly and throws an error message using sudo:

  alex@alex-linux : ~ / tmp $ ./sample-script 
 Ok
 alex@alex-linux : ~ / tmp $ sudo ./sample-script 
 [sudo] password for alex: 
 ./sample-script: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Why?

Answer 1

Do you have

#!/bin/bash 

as the first line of the script? it may be required

Answer 2

Perhaps root has another default shell that does not support this syntax.
