1. Which of the following is the use 3. What will be the output of the following
of function in python? Python code?
a) Functions are reusable pieces of programs
b) Functions don’t provide better modularity 1. def sayHello():
for your application
c) you can’t also create your own functions 2. print('Hello World!')
d) All of the mentioned 3. sayHello()
Answer: a 4. sayHello()
Explanation: Functions are reusable pieces
of programs. They allow you to give a name a)
to a block of statements, allowing you to run c)
that block using the specified name anywhere
Hello
in your program and any number of times.
Hello
2. Which keyword is used for function?
a) Fun d) None of the mentioned
b) Define
c) Def Answer: a
d) Function Explanation: Functions are defined using the
def keyword. After this keyword comes an
identifier name for the function, followed by
a pair of parentheses which may enclose 6. sayHello() # call the function agai

some names of variables, and by the final
colon that ends the line. Next follows the 4. What will be the output of the following

b) 4
4. x = 2
c) 4 is maximum
d) None of the mentioned 5. print('Changed local x to', x) 6.
Answer: c func(x)
Explanation: Here, we define a function
7. print('x is now', x)
called printMax that uses two parameters
called a and b. We find out the greater a)
number using a simple if..else statement and
then print the bigger number. x is 50
5. What will be the output of the following Changed local x to 2

Python code? x is now 50
1. x = 50 b)
2. def func(x): x is 50

Next, we assign the value 2 to x. The name x
is local to our function. So, when we change 6. print('Changed global x to', x) 7.
the value of x in the function, the x defined in func()
the main block remains unaffected. With the

3. say('Hello')
Explanation: The global statement is used to
declare that x is a global variable – hence, 4. say('World', 5)
when we assign a value to x inside the
function, that change is reflected when we use a)
the value of x in the main block.

In the first usage of say, we supply only the
