Basic Python - Functions

NaN years ago

A function is a block of code that only runs when it is called. You can pass data, known as parameters, into a function. Furthermore, it avoids repetition and makes the code reusable.


Creating a Function

def Function_name():
  print("Hello from a function")



Calling a Function

def first_function():
  print("Hello from a function")

first_function()


Function with arguments

def second_function(name):
  print(name + "satyam")

second_function("satyam")


Function with arbitrary arguments, *args

def third_function(*names):
  print("The second person is " + names[2])

third_function("Emil", "Tobias", "Linus")


Function with arbitrary keyword arguments, **kwargs

def fouth_function(**name):
  print("His last name is " + name["lname"])

fouth_function(fname = "satyam", lname = "sharma")


Function with default parameter value

def fifth_function(country = "China"):
  print("I am from " + country)

fifth_function("Sweden") // its prints Sweden
fifth_function("India") // its prints India
fifth_function() // its prints China



Basically, we can divide functions into the following two types:

Built-in functions: Functions that are built into Python.

User-defined functions: Functions defined by the users themselves.
