Different type of functions.
1) Built in Functions.
2) Modules.
3) User - defined functions.

Built in Functions.
The predefined functions are called
built-in functions. It can be execute
by a simplefunction call statement.
 min() Return smallest.
 max() Return largest.
 pow() Returns xy.
 len() Returns length.
 int() Returns integer.

Modular Functions.
A module is a file that contains functions,
classes, variables, and constants. To use
the functions of a module, you need to
import the module using the import
statement. The math module is an
example. It contains the most popular
mathematical functions.

>>> import math
>>> math.pi
3.141592653589793
>>> math.sqrt(25)
5.0
>>> math.floor(3.14)
3
>>> math.ceil(3.14)
4
>>> import random
>>> random.randomint(10,20)
17
After importing the modules,
use the function.
math.floor() - Drop down to the
nearest integer.
math.ceil() - Grow up to the nearest
integer.

Keyword “def” is used to define
a function. The very first line is
called Function header. It
begins with the keyword “def”

or function suit. Put some space
(Indentation) before statements.



Give me some
numbers. I'll return
their sum.
The return statement
stops the execution of
a function and returns
to the caller function.

Return statement is used to stop the execution of
a function and come back to called statement.
Return statement returns the result if we needed.
By default return statement returns a None value.
In Python multiple values can be returned.

RETURN ONE VALUE
def add ( a , b , c , d ) :
return a+b+c+d
s = add(10,20,30,40)
avg = s/4
print (“Sum =”, s, “Avg = ”, avg)
Return statement, stop
function execution and
come back. It also returns
the result if we needed.
By default it will return a
None value.
Return 100

def add ( a , b ) :
return a + b
s = add(10,20 )
s = add ( 1.5, 2.5 )
s = add(“anil”, “kumar” )
s = add( [10,20], [5,15] )
ALL IN ONE
Python is a dynamically-
typed language. It doesn't
know about the type of the
variable until the code runs.
ALL IN ONE
10 + 20 = 30
1.5 + 2.5 = 4.0

Both the Arguments and Parameters should be matched.
Values 10, 20, 30, 40 will assigned
in a,b,c and d respectively.

def add ( a , b , c , d ) :
add ( 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 )

Positional arguments are

Years = 3

def interest (prin, rate, years) :
return prin*rate*years
p = int(input("Enter Principal amoumt "))
r = float(input("Enter rate of interest "))
y = int(input("Enter No of years "))
i = interest(p,r,y)
print("Interest = ", i)

What a dilemma !
How I satisfies
both of them
I want sum of
3 Nos(10,20
and 30)
I want sum of 2
Nos(10 and 20)

default (Optional ) arguments.
What a dilemma !
How I satisfies
both of them
My statement is correct.
‘a’ becomes 10 and ‘b’ becomes 20.
I allows 2
entry only.

When we omit some
arguments, it uses the
default values.
𝐜 = 𝟎

def add (a, b, c=0) :
return a + b + c
v1 = int(input("Enter 1st No "))
v2 = int(input("Enter 2nd No "))
v3 = int(input("Enter 3rd No "))
s1 = add(v1, v2)
s2 = add(v1, v2, v3)
print("Sum of 2 Nos = ", s1)
print("Sum of 3 Nos = ", s2)
Output
Enter 1st No 10
Enter 2nd No 20
Enter 3rd No 30
Sum of 2 Nos = 30
Sum of 3 Nos = 60
Since we omit 3rd argument, c becomes 0

def add(a=0, b=0, c=0, d=0, e=0) :
return a+b+c+d+e
No arguments given.
a,b,c,d,e becomes 0
Answer is 0
One value given, that
will be assigned in ‘a’.
Remaining b,c,d,e
becomes 0
Answer is 1
Two values given, which
will be assigned in ‘a’
and b. Remaining
c,d,e becomes 0
Answer is 3
Three values given,
which are assigned in
a,b and c. Remaining
d,e becomes 0.
Answer is 6
Four values given,
which are assigned in
a,b and c. Remaining
d,e becomes 0.
Answer is 10
All arguments are
given. Which are
assigned in a,b,c,d,e
respectively.
Answer is 15

What do you think ?.
Is it correct in all
situations.
If the function is called without argument,
that argument gets its default value.
When you call 3rd
parameter ‘c’ gets 0.
When you call (no missing
arguments) Parameters a,b and c catch our
values 5,6,7. (a=5, b=6, c=7)

def greet (𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞, 𝐚𝐠𝐞 ) :
print(“Hai ”, name, “, you are”, age, “years old”)
greet (‘Aswin’, 18)
What happened when I call
Click Me 
Parameter Values.
name = 16, roll = ‘Aswin’
Output : Hai 16, you are ‘Aswin’ years old.

Aswin,
Roll no 16,
stand up.
I am Aswin,
Roll no 16.
Giving arguments in the form of key-value
pairs are called keyword arguments.

def greet (name, roll ):
print (“Hai“,name,“Your Roll No is”, roll)
greet (roll = 16, name = “Aswin”)

It is declared inside a function. It is declared outside the function.
If it is not initialized, a garbage value is
stored
If it is not initialized zero is stored as
default.
It is created when the function starts
execution and lost when the functions
terminate.
It is created before the program's global
execution starts and lost when the
program terminates.
Data sharing is not possible as data of
the local variable can be accessed by
only one function.
Data sharing is possible as multiple
functions can access the same global
variable.
When the value of the local variable is
modified in one function, the changes
are not visible in another function.
When the value of the global variable is
modified in one function changes are
visible in the rest of the program.
Local variables can be accessed inside a
function in which they are declared.
You can access global variables by any
statement in the program.
Global vs local Variables.

variables a, b are local
and limited its access
within this function.
variables x, y are global and
its access is everywhare.

EXERCISES 5. Calculate factorial of given no using for loop.
range() function create a sequence
of values from start to stop-1.
Range(start, stop, step)
Start and Step are optional
range (1, 5 ) = 1, 2, 3, 4
range (5, 10 ) = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
range ( 1, 10, 2 ) = 1,3,5,7,9
range ( 0, 20, 5 ) = 0, 5, 10, 15
range (5, 0, -1) = 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
range ( 5 ) = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
Factorial of n (n!) is the product of all numbers <= n.
5! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 = 120.
Assume that
input a = 5
n = 5

EXERCISES 5. Calculate factorial of given no using for loop.
Factorial of n (n!) is the product of all numbers <= n.
5! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 = 120.
Assuming n = 5
range (1, 6 ) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
At end of Step 1 : x = 2 f = 2
Step 2 : x = 3 f = 6
Step 3 : x = 4 f = 24
Step 4 : x = 5 f = 120
OUTPUT
Enter a No 5
The Factorial of 5 is 120
Muitiply value of
x with existing
value of f
Assume that
input a = 5n = 5
Passing5

This presentation could not satisfy me. So I urge
everyone to inform me of its shortcomings.
