Function

Python Functions

 A function is a block of code which only runs when it is called.


 You can pass data, known as parameters, into a function.
 A function can return data as a result.
Creating a Function

 In Python a function is defined using the def keyword:


def my_function():
print("Hello from a function")
Calling a Function

 To call a function, use the function name followed by parenthesis:


 def my_function():
print("Hello from a function")

my_function()
Arguments

 Information can be passed into functions as arguments.


 Arguments are specified after the function name, inside the parentheses. You can add as
many arguments as you want, just separate them with a comma.
 The following example has a function with one argument (fname). When the function is
called, we pass along a first name, which is used inside the function to print the full name:
 def my_function(fname):
print(fname + " Refsnes")

my_function("Emil")
my_function("Tobias")
my_function("Linus")
Arbitrary Arguments, *args

 If the number of arguments is unknown, add a * before


the parameter name
 def my_function(*kids):
print("The youngest child is " + kids[2])

my_function("Emil", "Tobias", "Linus")


Keyword Arguments

 You can also send arguments with the key = value syntax.
 This way the order of the arguments does not matter.
 def my_function(child3, child2, child1):
print("The youngest child is " + child3)

my_function(child1 = "Emil", child2 = "Tobias", child3 = "Linus")


:

Return Values

 To let a function return a value, use the return statement


 def my_function(x):
return 5 * x

print(my_function(3))
print(my_function(5))
print(my_function(9)) 1515
25
45
The pass Statement

 function definitions cannot be empty, but if you for some


reason have a function definition with no content, put in
the pass statement to avoid getting an error.
 def myfunction():
pass
Python Lambda

 A lambda function is a small anonymous function.


 A lambda function can take any number of arguments, but can only have one expression.
 Syntax-
lambda arguments : expression
 The expression is executed and the result is returned:

 Add 10 to argument a, and return the result:


x = lambda a : a + 10
print(x(5))
 Lambda functions can take any number of arguments:

 Multiply argument a with argument b and return the


result:
x = lambda a, b : a * b
print(x(5, 6))
