Why Use Functions?
• Code reusability

• Improves readability

• Reduces code duplication

• Easy debugging and maintenance


Types of Functions in Python
• Built-in functions (print, len, type)

• User-defined functions
Defining a Function
A function is defined using the def keyword followed by the function name and parentheses.

Example: def my_function():


Function Parameters
Parameters are values passed to a function to perform operations.

Example: def add(a, b):


Return Statement
The return statement is used to send a result back from a function.

Example: return a + b
Calling a Function
To use a function, you need to call it by its name followed by parentheses.

Example: result = add(3, 5)


Advantages of Functions
• Saves time

• Makes code organized

• Easy to understand and reuse


Conclusion
Python functions are essential for writing clean, efficient, and reusable code. They help
programmers break down complex problems into simple parts.
