how do functions work in python code example
Example 1: python functions
def myFunction(say): #you can add variables to the function
print(say)
myFunction("Hello")
age = input("How old are you?")
myFunction("You are {} years old!".format(age))
#this is what you get:
Hello
How old are you?
>>11 #lol my real age actually
You are 11 years old!
Example 2: how to write a function in python
# We use the def keyword to write a function in python
# Format: def function_name():
# For example:
def Bark():
print("Bark! Bark!")
# If we want to run the function
Bark()
Example 3: python how to make a function
#Functions can be re used in programmes and can be extremely useful.
#You would use functions a lot when you make programmes using packages such
#as Tkinter, of which you will in the future.
#The Format:
#def [Whatever name you want]()
#[The "()" at the end is compulsory as we are making a function.]
#Think of it like using an inbuilt function from python like .lower()
def greet():
print("Hello!")
greet() #We are recalling the function by typing out its name and brackets
#This function will have something known as a parameter aka arguement
#This example will show a non changeable arguement unless coded
#Option 1, will directly print the sum:
def math(num1, num2):
sum = num1+num2
print(sum)
math(1, 2) #We change the num 1 and num 2 to the one and 2, though this can't change unless progammed to.
#Option 2, will return the sum and then print upon command.
def math(num1, num2):
sum = num1+num2
return sum
print(math(1, 2))
#Good luck to all my future Software engineers! Hope life treats you all well!
#Inshallah! (Meaning if Allah allows it!)
Example 4: how to define function in python
def example(): #This defines it
print("Example.") #This is the defined commands
example() #And this is the commands being run
Example 5: python functions
def chess_piece(piece_name, piece_value, piece_rank):
"""Info about a chess piece."""
print(f"\nThis chess piece is called the {piece_name}.")
print(f"It has an approximate value of {piece_value} points.")
print(f"In other words, this piece is the {piece_rank} valuable piece.")
chess_piece('pawn', '1', 'least')
chess_piece('knight', '3', 'second to last most')
chess_piece('bishop', '3', 'third to last most')
chess_piece('rook', '5', 'third most')
chess_piece('queen', '9', 'second most')
chess_piece('king', 'infinite', 'most')
Example 6: python function
def my_function():
print("Hello from a function")
my_function()
