Functions - Class 12 Computer Science (Python)

Introduction to Functions
Definition: A function is a reusable block of code that performs a specific task.
Syntax:
def function_name():
pass
Example Question: Write a function to print Hello.
Solution:
def hello():
print('Hello')
hello()
Output:
Hello

Need and Advantages


Definition: Functions reduce repetition and improve readability.
Syntax:
-
Example Question: Add numbers repeatedly using one function.
Solution:
def add(a,b):
print(a+b)
add(2,3)
Output:
5

Built-in Functions
Definition: Predefined Python functions.
Syntax:
len(x), print(x)
Example Question: Find length of 'Python'.
Solution:
print(len('Python'))
Output:
6

User-defined Functions
Definition: Functions created by the programmer.
Syntax:
def name():
Example Question: Create greet().
Solution:
def greet():
print('Good Morning')
greet()
Output:
Good Morning

Defining a Function (def)


Definition: Use def keyword.
Syntax:
def square(n):
Example Question: Square of 4.
Solution:
def square(n):
print(n*n)
square(4)
Output:
16

Calling a Function
Definition: Execute using its name.
Syntax:
function()
Example Question: Call hello().
Solution:
def hello():
print('Hi')
hello()
Output:
Hi

Parameters and Arguments


Definition: Parameters are variables; arguments are passed values.
Syntax:
def f(x):
Example Question: Display a name.
Solution:
def show(name):
print(name)
show('Jisoo')
Output:
Jisoo

Positional Arguments
Definition: Matched by order.
Syntax:
f(a,b)
Example Question: Add 5 and 7.
Solution:
def add(a,b): print(a+b)
add(5,7)
Output:
12

Default Arguments
Definition: Uses default if omitted.
Syntax:
def f(x=1):
Example Question: Country default.
Solution:
def c(n='India'): print(n)
c()
Output:
India

Keyword Arguments
Definition: Pass by parameter name.
Syntax:
f(a=1)
Example Question: Student.
Solution:
def s(name,age): print(name,age)
s(age=17,name='Jisoo')
Output:
Jisoo 17

*args
Definition: Multiple positional args.
Syntax:
def f(*a):
Example Question: Sum.
Solution:
def t(*n): print(sum(n))
t(1,2,3)
Output:
6

**kwargs
Definition: Multiple keyword args.
Syntax:
def f(**k):
Example Question: Print dict.
Solution:
def d(**x): print(x)
d(a=1,b=2)
Output:
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}

return
Definition: Returns value.
Syntax:
return x
Example Question: Return square.
Solution:
def sq(n): return n*n
print(sq(5))
Output:
25

Functions without return


Definition: No explicit return; returns None.
Syntax:
-
Example Question: Observe None.
Solution:
def g(): print('Hi')
x=g();print(x)
Output:
Hi
None

Local Variables
Definition: Accessible only inside function.
Syntax:
x=1 inside fn
Example Question: Local x.
Solution:
def f():
x=10;print(x)
f()
Output:
10

Global Variables
Definition: Declared outside function.
Syntax:
global x
Example Question: Modify global.
Solution:
x=0
def u():
global x;x+=1
u();print(x)
