📘 Quick Theory Recap

🔹 What is a Function?

A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. It can be reused multiple times.

🔹 Types of Functions:

 Built-in functions – Already provided by Python (e.g., len(), sum())


 User-defined functions – Created by the user using the def keyword

🔹 Syntax of a Function:
python
CopyEdit
def function_name(parameters):
# Function body
return value

🧠 Examples
Example 1: Function with no parameters and no return
python
CopyEdit
def greet():
print("Hello, students!")

Example 2: Function with parameters and return value


python
CopyEdit
def add(a, b):
return a + b

Example 3: Calling the function


python
CopyEdit
greet()
result = add(10, 5)
print(result) # Output: 15

📎 Teacher’s Note / Tips for Students
 Use meaningful function names and comments to improve code readability.
 Practice tracing functions step-by-step to understand flow.
 Try creating small functions to solve real-life problems like calculators or temperature
converters.

✅ Answer Key – Class 12 Python


Worksheet: Functions

🔸 Section A: Objective Questions


Q1. Fill in the blanks:

1. def
2. return
3. modularity

Q2. True or False:

1. False – You cannot have multiple functions with the same name in the same scope.
2. False – A function can return multiple values using tuples.
3. True – Indentation is used to define blocks of code, including the function body.
🔸 Section B: Short Answer Questions
Q3. Difference between built-in and user-defined functions:

Built-in Functions User-defined Functions


Provided by Python by default Created by the programmer
Example: len(), max() Example: def greet():
Can be used directly Must be defined before use

Q4. Output:

python
CopyEdit
def square(x):
return x * x

print(square(3)) # 9
print(square(5)) # 25

Answer:

CopyEdit
9
25

Q5. Identify the error:

python
CopyEdit
def greet(name)
print("Hi", name)

Corrected Version:

python
CopyEdit
def greet(name):
print("Hi", name)

Error: Missing colon : at the end of the function definition line.
