Fundamental Concepts in Python 

In python, a function is a block of reusable code that performs a specific task or set of tasks. Function allow you to break your code into smaller  more manageable pieces, making it easier to understand and maintain. In this blog, you will get Fundamental Concepts in Python provides many built in functions such as  print(),input(),len(),max(),min() etc. But you can also create your own custom function to encapsulate functionality.

Functions having two parts: 

1.Function Definition 

2.Function call 

Defining a function 

To define a function in python, you use the def keyword, followed by the  function name and a pair of parentheses. 

We can write function two ways: 

1.Function without arguments 

2.Function with arguments

Function definition : 

Syntax: 

def function_name():

function body

Function call

function_name()

In Python a function is defined using the def keyword. To call a function,  use the function name followed by parenthesis. 

 

Arguments 

Information can be passed into functions as arguments. 

Arguments are specified after the function name, inside the parentheses.  You can add as many arguments as you want, just separate them with a  comma.

Default arguments 

A default argument is an argument that assumes a default value if a value  is not provided in the function call for that argument.

 

Arbitrary arguments 

Arbitrary arguments are used when you want the function to take an  unlimited number of arguments. When you add an asterisk ( * ), it will receive a tuple of arguments. 

 

Keyword arguments 

You can pass the arguments in a non-positional manner using keyword arguments.

 

The Return Statement  

To return a value from a function, we use a return statement. It  “returns” the result to the caller. 

A function always returns a value. If a user doesn’t include a return statement, it returns None. 

 

Types of variables in used Defined Function: 

Local Variable: 

A local variable that is declared inside the function is called local function”. We can access a local variable inside but not outside the  function.

Global Variable 

Variables that are created outside of a function are known as global  variables. Global variables can be used by everyone, both inside of  functions and outside. 

Python global keyword allows the user to define a variable globally  whose value can be modified outside the current scope.

Conclusion 

Any programming language must contain functions. A function in Python can take any number of arguments and is defined by the def keyword.  Anonymous functions are also supported by Python. They can either provide a single value or several values one by one.
