Function

What is Function?
o Python function is a block of statements that return the specific task.
o The idea is to put some commonly done tasks together and make a
function so that instead of writing the same code again and again for
different inputs, we can do the function calls to reuse code contained
in it over and over again.
Benefits of using functions:
 Increase code Readability
 Increase code Reusability

o An argument is a value that is accepted by a function.
o If we create a function with arguments, we need to pass the
corresponding values while calling them.

Return statement:
o If we want our function to return some value to a function call we can
use return statement.

o The return statement also denotes that the function has ended. Any
code after return is not executed.

o A python function may or may not return a value.

Standard functions:
o Standard library functions are the built-in functions that can be used
directly in our program.

o These library functions are defined inside a module and to use them,
we must include the module inside our program.
