What is Function is a block of code that will
be run if it is called.
Function? A function is a block of organized, reusable
code that is used to perform a single, related
action. Functions provide better modularity
for your application and a high degree of
code reusing.
Function
How to create a function?
Code
Output

Function in python will always start with def

Can I change the function name? Sure! Change your function name as you wish
Don’t forget, after you named the function, you have to add parantheses ( () )
Practice I
For student whose last For student whose last
digit of student id is digit of student id is even
odd
Recreate previous program, create a function Recreate previous program, create a function name
name helloMe, and the output will be Hello, helloYou, and the output will be Hello, your student ID
your name
Arguments
What is arguments?
Code
Output

Arguments means we are giving an information into the function.

Don’t forget to initialize the function to receive parameters when called.
You can pass as much arguments as you like!
Practice II:
For student whose last For student whose last
digit of student id is digit of student id is even
odd
Recreate previous program, create a function Recreate previous program, create a function name
name helloYou, pass your student ID as the helloMe, pass your name as the arguments, and the
arguments, and the output will be Hello, your output will be Hello, your name
student ID
Return
What is return?
Code
Output

Return means a function is giving back the result to the caller

Practice III:
For student whose last
digit of student id is
odd
Recreate previous program, create a function,
the name is up to you. The function will
multiply two values that you pass as the
arguments. You have to use return to obtain the
result
For student whose last
digit of student id is even
Recreate previous program, create a function, the name
is up to you. The function will divide two values that
you pass as the arguments. You have to use return to
obtain the result
