Functions in Python are used to avoid being repeating the same code on multiple ocassions. It saves time, it needs less effort from your part, in a nutshell, it is useful.
How can we use it?
The syntax looks like this:
def the_name_of_the_function (parameters):
whatever that you want the function to do
As an example I made a mix with some of the things that we’ve already learned to make a really simple “game” were the user needs to make a decision:
we start by creating 2 functions without parameters (because we won’t need them in this example)
then we add the code that’s going to make the program ask the user for a decision, which car does he want to use?
Then we add the conditionals that’s going to tell python what’s what he needs to do if a certain thing happen.
Thanks for watching
