Understanding Functions in Python

Functions in Python allow code to be reused, organized into modular pieces, and optimized for efficiency. While functions can abstract away complexity, overusing them can make code hard to understand and maintain. User-defined functions are defined with a name and parameters, then implemented with a code block, and called by providing arguments. Real-world examples of functions include ones for ATM transactions like withdrawing cash, checking balances, and printing receipts.

3 Function Overloading

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