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. PARAMETERS (arguments)
