Python - Functions

This document discusses functions in Python. It defines a function as a reusable block of code designed to perform a specific task. It outlines the basic syntax for defining functions using the def keyword. Functions can take parameters and can return values. User-defined functions perform custom tasks, while built-in functions are included with Python. Examples are provided to demonstrate functions with and without parameters, default parameters, returning values, and keyword arguments.

Functions
A function is a reusable block of
programming statements designed to
perform a certain task.
 To define a function, Python provides
the def keyword
Syntax
def function_name(parameters):
statement1
statement2 ... ...
return [expr]
 Functions that we define ourselves to do
certain specific task are referred as
user-defined functions.
 Functions that readily come with Python
are called built-in functions.
Writing user-defined functions in Python
 Step 1: Declare the function with the
keyword def followed by the function name.
 Step 2: Write the arguments inside the
opening and closing parentheses of the
function, and end the declaration with a
colon.
 Step 3: Add the program statements to be
executed.
 Step 4: End the function with/without return
statement.
Creating a Function
def SayHello():
print ("Hello! Welcome to Python")
return
print(SayHello())

Hello! Welcome to Python


Function with Parameters

def SayHello(name):
print ("Hello {}!.".format(name))
return
print(SayHello('john'))

Hello john!.
Function – Add 2 numbers
def add_numbers(x,y):
sum = x + y
return sum
num1 = 5
num2 = 6
print("The sum is", add_numbers(num1,
num2))

('The sum is', 11)


def result(m1,m2,m3):
total=m1+m2+m3
percent=total/3
if percent>=50:
print ("Result: Pass")
else:
print ("Result: Fail")
return

p=int(input("Enter your marks in physics: "))


c=int(input("Enter your marks in chemistry: "))
m=int(input("Enter your marks in maths: "))
result(p,c,m)
Output
Enter your marks in physics: 50
Enter your marks in chemistry: 60
Enter your marks in maths: 70
Result: Pass

Enter your marks in physics: 30


Enter your marks in chemistry: 40
Enter your marks in maths: 50
Result: Fail
Parameter with Default Value

def SayHello(name='Guest'):
print ("Hello " + name)
return
print(SayHello())

Hello Guest
Parameter with given Value

def SayHello(name='Guest'):
print ("Hello " + name)
return
print(SayHello('tom'))

Hello tom
Function with Keyword Arguments
 Inorder to call a function with arguments, the same
number of actual arguments must be provided. 
 Ex:-

def AboutMe(name, age):


print ("Hi! My name is {} and I am {}
years
old".format(name,age))

AboutMe("John", 20)

Hi! My Name is John and I am 20 years old


AboutMe(age=23, name="Mohan") 

Hi! My name is Mohan and I am 23 years


old
Function with Return Value

A user-defined function can also be made


to return a value to the calling
environment by putting an expression in
front of the return statement.
 In this case, the returned value has to be
assigned to some variable.
Ex:-
def sum(a, b):
return a + b
print(sum(10,20))

30
Ex 2
def sum(a, b):
return a + b
total=sum(5,sum(10,20))
print(total)

35
