Importance of Function in Python
Function: Scenario
Anna wants to send a personalized greeting message to a list of 50 people, ensuring every message is consistent except
for the recipient's name

Simple Approach Efficient Approach


Function: Introduction
Functions in Pythons is a block of statements that returns the specific tasks.

Idea is to put some commonly done tasks together and make a function to reuse code contained in
it over and over again.

Keyword Function name Inputs to the function

def function_name (parameters):

#Python code 1
Body of function containing Python statements
#Python code 2

return output

Keyword Output returned by the function call

Functions
There are various types of functions
used to perform different operations.
Recursive Function Lambda Function
Built-in Function

Python offers a variety of built-in functions that can be used without any imports.

Input or Output Datatype conversion Mathematical Functions Other Functions

input() bool(), int(), dict(), float() abs(), sum(), max(), min() len()

print() list(), set(), str(), tuple() pow(), round(), divmod() range(), type()

User-Defined Function

A user-defined function is created by user to perform specific tasks, rather than using the built-in
functions provided by the Python.

To create a function, one need to use the "def" keyword followed by the function name and input
parameters within parentheses.
Lambda Function

Lambda functions in Python are small, anonymous, and


single-use functions that are defined using the "lambda"
keyword instead of "def".
Lambda functions are limited to a single expression, and their results are
returned automatically.

Lambda functions are commonly used in conjuction with higher-order


function like map(), filter(), or sorted()
Recursive Function

A Recursive function calls itself to solve a smaller instance of the same problem.

In Python, recursive functions are typically used when a problem can be defined in terms of itself,
like calculating factorials, or generating Fibonacci sequences.
