Python Functions - Combo Reviewer (Day 11 of 30 Days of Python)

FUNCTIONS IN PYTHON

- Functions are reusable blocks of code used to perform a task.


- Defined using `def` keyword.
- Function types: no parameters, with parameters, with default values, returning values, and using
*args for variable arguments.
- Functions can also take other functions as arguments.

FUNCTION SYNTAX

```python
def function_name(parameters):
# block of code
return value
```

FUNCTION TYPES

- No Parameters:
```python
def greet():
print("Hello")
```

- With Parameters:
```python
def greet(name):
return "Hello " + name
```
- Returning Values:
```python
def add(a, b):
return a + b
```

- Default Parameters:
```python
def greet(name="User"):
return "Hello " + name
```

- Arbitrary Arguments (*args):


```python
def sum_all(*nums):
return sum(nums)
```

- Function as Argument:
```python
def square(x):
return x * x

def do_something(func, x):


return func(x)
```

KEY POINTS

- Use `return` to send back values.


- Use *args to accept multiple arguments.
- You can pass arguments by position or by keyword (key=value).
QUICK CHECKS

Q: What keyword defines a function in Python?


A: `def`

Q: What happens if a function has no return statement?


A: It returns `None` by default.

Q: Can you pass arguments in any order?


A: Yes, if you use key=value syntax.

Q: How do you allow a function to take any number of arguments?


A: Use `*args`.

5. Check the season from a given month.

LEVEL 2
1. Count evens and odds in a given range.
2. Write a factorial function.
3. Create functions for mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation.

1. Write `is_prime` to check if a number is prime.
2. Check if all items in a list are unique.
3. Check if all items in a list are of the same type.
