Understanding Functions in Python

Functions in Python allow code to be reused, organized into modular pieces, and run efficiently. There are built-in functions provided by Python and user-defined functions created by programmers. User-defined functions promote reusability, readability and flexible problem solving. They are defined with a name and parameters, implemented with a code block, and called to execute. Examples include functions for greeting, adding numbers, and checking if a number is even.

Understanding Functions

in Python
In this presentation, we will dive into the world of functions in Python, exploring
their advantages, disadvantages, and real-life examples.
The Power of Functions
1 Reusable 2 Modular

Functions allow you to write By breaking down your code

3 Efficient

Functions enable you to optimize your code and make it more efficient
by eliminating repetitive tasks.
Disadvantages of Functions

Functions can sometimes hide Using too many functions can

3 Function Overloading

Python does not support function overloading, which can limit the
flexibility of your code.

and calculations. authentication.
Types of Functions: Built-in and
User-Defined
Functions in programming can be categorized into two main types: built-in
functions and user-defined functions.

Built-in functions are pre-defined functions that are provided by the


programming language itself, such as print(), len(), and range().

User-defined functions, on the other hand, are functions that are created by the
programmer to perform specific tasks based on their requirements.
User-Defined Functions:
Harnessing the Power of
Customization
User-defined functions allow programmers to create their own functions tailored
to their specific needs. By encapsulating a set of instructions into a reusable
block, user-defined functions promote code modularity, readability, and
reusability. With user-defined functions, programmers have the flexibility to
solve complex problems efficiently and maintainable.
User-Defined Functions
Step 1: Define Step 2: Implement Step 3: Call
Start by defining your Call the function by its

Let's create a simple function called
greet that prints a friendly greeting:
A Function That Adds Two Numbers:
A Function That Checks if a Number is Even:
A Fun Activity: Function Naming
Let's get creative! In the chat, come up with funny and unique names for a function that calculates the
number of cookies you can eat based on your height and weight. Share your ideas!
In Conclusion
Functions in Python are a powerful tool for code organization and reusability.
Embrace them in your programming journey!
