Python Functions - Day 1 & 2 Notes

Day 1: Introduction to Functions

What is a Function?

A function is a reusable block of code that performs a specific task.

Why Use Functions?

- Avoid repetition

- Organize and modularize code

- Easier debugging

- Better readability and reusability

Syntax:

def function_name():

# block of code

Example:

def greet():

print("Hello!")

greet()

Analogy:

Think of a function as a coffee machine. You press a button (call function), and it gives output

(coffee).

Practice Zone:

1. hello_world() - prints "Hello, World!"

2. add(a, b) - returns sum

3. greet(name) - prints greeting

4. square_numbers() - prints square of 1 to 5

Day 2: Return and Variable Scope

Return Statement

Used to send result back to where the function was called.

Example:

def add(a, b):

return a + b

result = add(2, 3)

Without return result is None

With return result = output of function

Variable Scope:

- Local: Inside function only

- Global: Outside and accessible everywhere

Use 'global' keyword to modify global variables inside function.

Example:

x = 10

def change():

global x

x = 20

Practice Tasks:

1. area_of_circle(radius)

2. convert_to_uppercase(text)

3. max_of_three(a, b, c)

4. is_even(n) + print_even_numbers(start, end)

Summary Table:

- return: sends output

- local vs global scope

- global keyword usage
