A function is a structuring element that groups some lanes of code that can be utilized many times in the program. Is basically defining a formula to then just put the name of the formula, and the program will run it without the need of writing it again.<\/p>\n

The syntax looks like this.<\/p>\n

def name-of-the-function(Parameters):<\/p>\n

Statements<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The statements determine what your function will do.<\/p>\n

To call a function you just need to put the name of a function previously defined.<\/p>\n

name-of-the-function()<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a really simple example about how to define a function and then call it two times. What this would do is run the same function two times. It is important to note that this function has no parameters.<\/p>\n

\"function\"<\/p>\n

And this is how the program works.<\/p>\n

\"function2\"<\/p>\n

Besides this really simple program I created another that actually uses parameters.<\/p>\n

\"function4\"<\/p>\n

This program executes a sum of the two parameters given.<\/p>\n

And here it is how it works.<\/p>\n

\"function5\"<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading me.<\/p>
