The document discusses functions in Scilab. It states that a function is a set of codes that can be called when required and defined separately in its own file or within a program. It also explains that a script file is similar but behaves differently based on input values, while a function file is like a "black box" where input is fed and output obtained. The document notes that Scilab allows functions and scripts to be defined separately, unlike MATLAB and Octave.

6.3 Functions
A function is a set of codes that can be called when required. As a result, it
can be defined separately either its own file or within the body of the program. A script file is similar in nature. A script file stores a sequence of commands to be executed. It seems that a function and a script have a similar nature, but, unlike MATLAB and Octave, Scilab provides separate of files for each one of them. This is based on the nature of their behavior with the core Scilab program.

6.3 Functions
Whereas a script file (with extension .sce) is an executable file, a function
file (with extension .sci) stores a set of instructions. The function file behaves like a black box where input is fed and output is obtained. On the other hand, a script file changes its behavior as per input values. Whatever input data a script file accesses is taken from the Scilab workspace. Output data from a script file is put into the Scilab workspace. The semantics of input data, local variables, are visible only within the function.

6.4 Summary
Defining functions is the key to modular programming. Scilab presents an
elegant way to define and use functions both inline and in separate files. When combined with the ability to write functions inside a loop, complex problems can be implemented in a few lines of codes. It requires an artistic attitude while designing an algorithm where functions and loops are the paintbrush to devise an elegant solution to a given numerical problem.
