The document discusses Python functions. It defines functions as reusable blocks of code that can be called anywhere in a program. Some key points covered include: - Functions allow code reuse and make programs easier to understand by splitting them into logical blocks. - There are built-in and user-defined functions. User-defined functions are defined using the def keyword followed by the function name and parameters. - Functions can take arguments, have default values, and return values. They improve readability and maintainability of large Python programs.
