Understanding Functions

in Python
In this presentation, we will dive into the world of functions in Python, exploring
their advantages, disadvantages, and real-life examples.
The Power of Functions
1 Reusable 2 Modular

Functions allow you to write By breaking down your code

code once and reuse it into smaller functions, you
multiple times, saving time can achieve better
and effort. organization and readability.

3 Efficient

Functions enable you to optimize your code and make it more efficient
by eliminating repetitive tasks.
Disadvantages of Functions
1 Abstraction 2 Overuse

Functions can sometimes hide Using too many functions can

the underlying complexity of lead to a convoluted program
code, making it harder to structure, making
understand. maintenance and debugging
challenging.

3 Function Overloading

Python does not support function overloading, which can limit the
flexibility of your code.
User-Defined Functions
Step 1: Define Step 2: Implement Step 3: Call
Start by defining your Call the function by its
function with a meaningful Write the code block inside name and provide the
name and specify its the function, defining the necessary arguments if any,
parameters, if any. logic and operations to be to execute the code.
performed.
Real-Life Example: ATM Function
Withdraw Cash
The function to withdraw
cash from an Automated
Teller Machine (ATM) uses
input, conditional statements,
and calculations.
Check Balance
The function to check the
account balance involves
accessing the user's account
details using secure
authentication.
Print Receipt
After each transaction, the
ATM function generates a
receipt with transaction
details.
A Fun Activity: Function Naming
Let's get creative! In the chat, come up with funny and unique names for a function that calculates the
number of cookies you can eat based on your height and weight. Share your ideas!
In Conclusion
Functions in Python are a powerful tool for code organization and reusability.
