In Python, a function is a block of reusable code that performs a specific task.

Functions help
you organize your code, avoid repetition, and make it more modular and readable.

🔹 Defining a Function

You define a function using the def keyword:

def greet():
print("Hello, world!")

 def – tells Python you're defining a function.


 greet() – the name of the function.
 The code inside the function runs when you call the function.

🔹 Calling a Function

To use (or call) a function:

greet()

🔹 Function with Parameters

You can pass information to functions using parameters:

def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
greet("Alice") # Output: Hello, Alice!

🔹 Function with Return Value

Functions can return a value using the return keyword:

def add(a, b):


return a + b

result = add(3, 5)
print(result) # Output: 8

🔹 Why Use Functions?

 Makes code reusable


 Keeps code organized
 Easier to debug and test
 Improves readability
🔹 Example: Putting It All Together
def calculate_area(width, height):
area = width * height
return area

print(calculate_area(5, 10)) # Output: 50
