A function is a block of code which only runs when it is called.
A function can return data as a result.
A function helps avoiding code repetition.

def: This keyword is used to define a function.
function_name: Choose a descriptive name for your function.
parameters: These are inputs that the function accepts (can be optional).
Function body: This is where you write the code that performs the function's task.
return: This optional statement is used to send a value back from the function.

Functions can send data back to the code that called them using the return statemen
When a function reaches a return statement, it stops executing and sends the result
