3. Functions
Re-using your code
Chapter 7

4. Functions
• A function is a group of statements that together perform a task
• Functions are one way to reuse code—you can use functions in
your programs again and again.

5. Parts of a Function
• A function has three parts: a name, parameters, and a body.
Here’s an example of a simple function:
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)

6. Parts of a Function
• A function has three parts: a name, parameters, and a body.
Here’s an example of a simple function:
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)
Def is a python keyword
provided for
programmers to create a
python function

7. Parts of a Function
• A function has three parts: a name, parameters, and a body.
Here’s an example of a simple function:
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)
Testfunc is the name of
the function. We can
give any name for the
function as per our
convenience

8. Parts of a Function
• A function has three parts: a name, parameters, and a body.
Here’s an example of a simple function:
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)
Myname is called as the
parameter of the function. A
parameter is a variable that
exists only while a function is
being used.

9. Parts of a Function
• A function has three parts: a name, parameters, and a body.
Here’s an example of a simple function:
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)
This space indicates that we
are going to start a block.
Which is obviously the body
of the function. And in our
body there is only one
statement which is print()

10. Calling a function
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)
>>> testfunc('Mary')
Function body or definition
Calling the function

11. Calling a function
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)
>>> testfunc('Mary')
Function body or definition
Calling the function
Output
hello Mary

12. Calling a function
>>> def testfunc(myname):
print('hello %s' % myname)
>>> testfunc('Mary')
The value Mary will be
assigned to the variable
myname during the function
call
Output
hello Mary

13. Returning a value
• A function is often used to return a value, using a return
statement. For example, you could write a function to calculate
your average mark
>>>def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a=averageMark(35,35,50)
>>>print(a)
40

14. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>> a=averageMark(35,35,50)
print(a)
Function body or definition
Calling the function

15. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a=averageMark(35,35,50)
print(a)
If you call the function
averageMark() it will
calculate and return the
average
Calling the function

16. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a=averageMark(35,35,50)
print(a)
This is where we call the
function averageMark().
We pass three
parameters 35,35,50
during function call

17. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a=averageMark(35,35,50)
print(a)
This is where we call the
function averageMark().
We call it with three
parameters 35,35,50

18. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a = averageMark(35,35,50)
print(a)
It calculate and returns
the average value. Ie 40

19. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a = averageMark(35,35,50)
print(a)
So this selected potion
will be replaced with the
returned value. Ie 40

20. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a=40
print(a)
So variable a will be
having a value 40

21. Example Returning a value
>>> def averageMark(science,english,maths)
return (science+english+maths)/3
>>>a=40
print(a) Output
40

23. Exercise !
• Create a function named “MyDetails()” , calling which will print all the
details about you
• Create a function to calculate the square of any number passed into it
• Crate a function that will return the square of any number passed in to it
