Functions In Python

SlideMake.com
Introduction to Functions

Functions are reusable blocks of code


that perform a specific task.

They help in organizing code, making


it more readable and maintainable.

Python functions can take inputs and


return outputs, enhancing their utility.
Defining a Function

Functions are defined using the `def`


keyword followed by the function
name.

Parameters can be included within


parentheses to allow for inputs.

The function body contains the code


that executes when the function is
called.
Calling a Function

A function is called by using its name


followed by parentheses.

If the function requires parameters,


you must provide them within the
parentheses.

Calling a function executes its code


and can yield a return value to the
caller.
Return Statement

The `return` statement is used to


send a result back to the caller.

If no return statement is specified, the


function returns `None` by default.

Return values can be assigned to


variables for further processing.
Function Parameters and Arguments

Parameters are the variables listed in


a function's definition.

Arguments are the actual values


supplied to the function when it is
called.

Python supports various parameter


types, including positional, keyword,
and default parameters.
Scope of Variables in Functions

Variables defined inside a function


have local scope, meaning they are
not accessible outside.

Global variables can be accessed


within functions, but modifying them
requires the `global` keyword.

Understanding variable scope is


crucial for preventing naming conflicts
and ensuring code clarity.
