Defining a Function
You can define functions to provide the required functionality. Here are
simple rules to define a function
in Python.
·
Function blocks begin with the keyword def followed by the function name and parentheses ( ( ) ).
·
Any input parameters or arguments should be placed
within these parentheses. You can also define
parameters inside these parentheses.
·
The first statement
of a function can be an optional
statement - the documentation string
of the function or docstring.
·
The code block within every function starts
with a colon (:) and is indented.
The statement return [expression] exits a function, optionally passing back an expression to the caller. A return statement with no arguments is the same as return None
Syntax
def functionname( parameters ): "function_docstring" function_suite return [expression] |
By default, parameters have a positional behavior and you need to inform
them in the same order that
they were defined.
