Syntax: Types of Functions

A function is a group of related statements that performs a specific task and helps break programs into smaller, more organized and manageable segments as the program grows larger. Functions have a defined syntax including the def keyword, function name, parameters, docstring, function suite, and optional return statement. There are two types of functions: built-in functions that are included in Python and user-defined functions that are created by users.
