Understanding Functions in Programming

A function is a code segment designed to perform a specific task, reducing code repetition and minimizing errors. Functions facilitate teamwork by allowing different programmers to work on separate tasks that can later be combined into a single application. Key advantages include easier development, error reduction, team collaboration, and the ability to reuse functions in other projects.

What are Functions ?

• A function is a piece of code which performs a speci c task


• It is used to reduce the repetition of the code hence reducing the size of the
code, Less chances of making mistakes in the code

• Functions make the task easy for the programmers as each programmer in a
team can be given a speci c task( function ) and at the end we can combine
these task together to make single application.

• Some points to remember are :

- Program is a general term


- A very big program is called application
- An application broke into pieces are called modules that performs a speci c
task

- Modules broken into pieces are called Functions / Procedure

Advantages :

- Easy development
- Error free
- Can be developed by a team of programmers
- Reuse modules for function in other projects

Creating a Function :

Syntax : def Name ( <parameter List >)


……….
……….
……….

return result

• A function must return a result and it python it returns result


• If you don’t write return inside a function then it’ll automatically returns None
