functools python code example

Example 1: python functions

# first we have to write 'def'
# then our function name followed by ()
# and a ':' abd defining  block of code

def multiply():     # naming convention could be same as variable for functions
    product = 10.5 * 4
    return product


product = multiply()
print(product)

Example 2: python funtion

def nameOfFunction(something):
  	return something

Example 3: python functools

@cache
def factorial(n):
    return n * factorial(n-1) if n else 1

>>> factorial(10)      # no previously cached result, makes 11 recursive calls
3628800
>>> factorial(5)       # just looks up cached value result
120
>>> factorial(12)      # makes two new recursive calls, the other 10 are cached
