06-Control Flow and Functions

1. The document discusses functions in Python, including how to create them using the def keyword and pass arguments. Functions allow reusable blocks of code to be executed repeatedly without rewriting. 2. A function is defined using def followed by the function name and parentheses. Code is indented inside the function. Functions can optionally return a value using the return keyword. 3. The document provides examples of creating simple functions that print or return values, and how to call functions by name and pass arguments. Functions are an important part of effective Python programming.

Foundation Course in

Python
Loops:

FOR LOOP
For Loop:
A for loop is used for iterating over a sequence (that is
either a list, a tuple, a dictionary, a set, or a string).

With the for loop we can execute a set of statements, once


for each item in a list, tuple, set etc.
Range () Function:
The range() function returns a sequence of numbers, starting
from 0 by default, and increments by 1 (by default), and
ends at a specified number.
User Input:

Input (_) Function


Functions
Functions:
● Creating clean repeatable code is a key part of becoming
an effective programmer.
● Functions allow us to create blocks of code that can be
easily executed many times, without needing to
constantly rewrite the entire block of code.
Functions:
● Functions will be a huge leap forward in your
capabilities as a Python programmer.
Functions:
● It is very important to get practice combining everything
you’ve learned so far (control flow, loops, etc.) with
functions to become an effective programmer.
How to create Function:
def name_of_function():

Keyword telling Python


this is a function. A colon indicates an upcoming
indented block. Everything indented is
then “inside” the function
How to create Function:
def name_of_function():
’’’
Docstring explains function.
’’’

Optional: Multi-line string to describe


function.
How to create Function:
def name_of_function():
’’’
Docstring explains function.
’’’
print(“Hello”)
Code then goes inside the
function.
How to create Function:
def name_of_function():
’’’
Docstring explains function.
’’’
print(“Hello”)
>> name_of_function() Function can then be
>> Hello executed/called to see the
result.
How to create Function:
def name_of_function(name):
’’’
Docstring explains function.
’’’
print(“Hello ”+name)
>> name_of_function(“Jose”)
>> Hello Jose Functions can accept
arguments to be passed by
the user.
How to create Function:
● Typically we use the return keyword to send back
the result of the function, instead of just printing it
out.
● return allows us to assign the output of the
function to a new variable.
How to create Function:
def add_function(num1,num2):
return num1+num2

>> result = add_function(1,2) Return allows to save the


result to a variable.
>>
>> print(result)
>> 3
