Function Python

Functions allow programmers to organize Python code into reusable chunks. A function is defined using the def keyword followed by a name and parameters in parentheses. The body of a function is indented and can contain multiple statements. Functions help break programs into smaller, modular pieces and avoid repetition by making code reusable. Built-in functions are included with Python while user-defined functions are created by programmers.

FUNCTION

IN
PYTHON
FUNCTION

 Function is a group of related statements that perform a specific


task.
 A function is block of code which only runs when it is called.
 Function help break our program into smaller and modular chunks.
As our program grows larger and larger, function make it
organized and manageable.
 It avoids repetition and makes code reusable.
FUNCTION

Built-in function – function that are built into python.

User-defined / Programmer-defined function – function defined by


the users themselves.
CREATING A FUNCTION

 In Python a function is defined using the “def” keyword.


 A function name to uniquely identify it.
 Parameters (arguments) through which we pass values to a function. They
are optional. Any input parameters or arguments should be placed within
parentheses.
 A colon (:) to mark the end of function header.
 Optional documentation string (docstring) to describe what function does.
 Statements must have same indentation level (usually 4 spaces).
 An optional “return” statements to return a value from the function.
CREATING A FUNCTION
PARAMETERS (arguments)

 Information can be passed to function as parameter.


 Parameters are specified after the function name, inside the
parenthesis.
 You can add as many parameters as you want, just separate
them with comma.
