Python Functions

Function Definition: Function is a group of statements which performs a specific task. It is also known as a Sub-routine or a Procedure or a Method.

In most programming languages two types of functions available:

Library Functions (also known as System defined function, for example print(), input(), etc.)
User defined functions (written by programmers, for example calculate(), find_area(), etc.)

Let's learn how Python Functions works.

Defining a Python Function

Following simple rules are followed while defining Python Functions:

Function blocks begin with the def keyword; followed by the function name and parentheses ( ).
Any number of parameters or arguments can be placed within function parentheses.
In the beginning of functions, writing a short comments about a function is one of the standard practice.
Function code begins with a colon(:) and has indentation.
return statement at the end indicates end of function.

Syntax of Python Function

def function_name( arguments ):
"function comments"
function logic / code
return

By default, arguments or parameters have a positional behavior and you need to write in the same order as they defined.

Python Function Example

The following python function prints line with a specified character as an parameter.

def print_line( chr ):
"This function prints a line of given character"
for i in range(0,15)
print (chr)
return

print_line('*')

print("")

print(" Welcome to Python Practicals ")

print_line('=')

Output of program

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Examples of Popular Python Functions

1. Calculate Factorial

def factorial(n):
"""Calculate the factorial of a number."""
if n == 0 or n == 1:
return 1
return n * factorial(n - 1)

# Example usage
print(factorial(5)) # Output: 120

2. Check if a Number is Prime

def is_prime(num):
"""Check if a number is prime."""
if num <= 1:
return False
for i in range(2, int(num**0.5) + 1):
if num % i == 0:
return False
return True

# Example usage
print(is_prime(7)) # Output: True

3. Find the Largest Element in a List

def find_largest(numbers):
"""Return the largest number in a list."""
if not numbers:
return None
largest = numbers[0]
for num in numbers:
if num > largest:
largest = num
return largest

# Example usage
print(find_largest([3, 7, 2, 8, 5]))

# Output: 8

4. Reverse a String

def reverse_string(s):
"""Reverse a given string."""
return s[::-1]

# Example usage
print(reverse_string("hello"))

# Output:

"olleh"

5. Generate all permutations of a string using recursion

def string_permutations(s, prefix=""):
"""Generate all permutations of a string recursively."""
if len(s) == 0:
print(prefix)
else:
for i in range(len(s)):
rem = s[:i] + s[i+1:]
string_permutations(rem, prefix + s[i])

# Example usage
string_permutations("abc")

# Output:
abc
acb
bac
bca
cab
cba

6. Fibonacci Sequence Generator

def fibonacci(n):
"""Generate a Fibonacci sequence up to n terms."""
fib_sequence = [0, 1]
for i in range(2, n):
fib_sequence.append(fib_sequence[i - 1] + fib_sequence[i - 2])
return fib_sequence[:n]

# Example usage
print(fibonacci(10))

# Output: [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]

Python is one of the widely used high-level programming language invented by Guido van Rossum. It can be used for solving varieties of problems. Python is known for its simplicity and code readability. Programmer can develop application very rapidly using Python.

Python code resembles the English language. To interpret the Python codes, computer needs a special program known as the Python interpreter. Python interpreter is needed to code, test and execute the Python programs.

Python nested if statement

Python nested-if statement

Nested if statements in any programming language means an if statement inside another if statement. Python also allows us to nest if statements within if statements. i.e, we can write an if statement inside another if statement.

Syntax of nested-if statement:

if (condition 1):
   # Code to be executed when condition 1 is true
   if (condition 2):
      # Code to be executed when condition 2 is true
   # end of inner if Block
# end of outer if Block

Example of Nested-if Statement: Python program to check Positive, Negative or Zero number.

# Checking for Positive, Negative, or Zero Number
number = int(input("Enter one number:"))
if number >= 0:
    if number == 0:
        print("The number is zero")
    else:
        print("The number is positive")
else:
    print("The number is negative")

Output of program

Enter a number:5
The number is positive

if-elif-else ladder

The if statements are executed from the top to the bottom sequentially. When one of the conditions controlling the if is true, the statement associated with that if is executed, and the rest of the ladder is bypassed. If none of the conditions is true, then the last else statement written will be executed.

Syntax of if-elif-else

if (condition 1):
statements for condition 1
elif (condition 2):
statements for condition 2
.
.
else:
statements for else

Example of Python if-elif-else ladder

number = int(input("Enter number in range of 1 to 5:"))
if (number == 1):
 print ("It’s One")
elif (number == 2):
 print ("It’s Two")
elif (number == 3):
 print ("It’s Three")
elif (number == 4):
 print ("It’s Four")
elif (number == 5):
 print ("It’s Five")
else:
 print ("It’s not in range of 1 to 5")

Output of program

Enter number in range of 1 to 5:3
It’s Three
