1.

Define function

It is a reusable block of code and it is performs specific task.

2.creating function

We create function by using def keyword .

def function_name():

#block of code

3.call the function

def greetings():

print("hello")

greetings()

4.Types of functions and definations

1)Built in function:it is an already created function

2) User defined function: it is created by users or programmers

Example: def

3)Lambda function

4)Recursive function

5.Types of parameters write definations and examples

1)positional parameters.

2)default parameter.

3)keyword parameter.

4)variable length positional parameter.

5)variable length keyword or arguments.


1)positional parameters: In positional parameter order must should be follow

Example:

def greetings(name, age):

print(name, age)

greetings("sanghana", 24)

output: sanghana 24

2)Default parameter: if default value is assigned no need to follow order

Example:

def greetings(name, age=18):

print(f"{name}, {age}")

greetings("Sanghana")

3) keyword parameter: Directly pass the values in function call with specific parameter name

Example:

def greetings(name, age):

print(f"{name}, {age}")

greetings(age=21, name="Sanghana")

Output: Sanghana, 21---order doesn’t matter

4)variable length positional parameters: it accepts any number of values or arguments (use
single * to store values) it stores in tuple

Example:

def numbers(*args):

print(args)
numbers(1,2,3,4,5)

output:(1,2,3,4,5)

5) variable length keyword or arguments : it is a keyword argument accepts any number of


keywords, using double( **), it stores in dictionary.

Example:

def multiple_values(**kwargs):

print(kwargs)

multiple_values(name="sanghana",age="24",course="python")

output: {'name': 'sanghana', 'age': '24', 'course': 'python'}
