What is a Function?

A function is a subprogram that acts on data and often returns a value.


Functions promote modularity, readability, reusability, and manageable code.

Advantages of Functions

- Breaks big problems into smaller ones


- Avoids ambiguity
- Reduces code size
- Improves readability and enhances reusability

Page 3
Arguments vs Parameters

- Parameters: Placeholders in function definitions (formal)


- Arguments: Actual values passed during function calls (actual)

Page 4
Types of Parameters

- Positional (required): Matched by position


- Default parameters: Predefined values
- Keyword (named): Passed by name, order does not matter

Page 5
Structure of a Function

- Header: def name(params):


- Body: Indented statements
- Optional return statement
- Call using name(args)

Page 6
Function Types

- Void functions: No return value


- Non-void functions: Return a value
- Built-in functions: Already available
- Module functions: From imported modules
- User-defined functions: Created by the user

Page 7
Parameter Passing Basics

- Mutable vs Immutable
- Scope: Local vs Global variables
- Use of global keyword

Code Examples

- Example of positional, default, and keyword arguments


- Void vs return-value functions
- Global scope variable usage example
