How to Code PYTHON: *Create Functions in Python*

Let's get started! ??? In this video, we will write a few PYTHON ? scripts to demonstrate how to define and use functions ♻️. In the examples, we define a simple function then ? call the function, accept one to more input parameters in a function, and accept an optional input parameter in a function. In this tutorial, you will learn some basics in less than 10 minutes!

In this video, you will learn how to:

★ 0:20 Create a function
★ 1:31 Create a function that accepts an input parameter
★ 3:01 Create a function that accepts an optional input parameter
★ 4:10 Create a function that accepts multiple input parameters

Tips and Tricks:
► Functions help encapsulate functionality in one place, compose your program, update your code, and add new features. Create a function to:
• Keep your program understandable: Each function should contain a single task or responsibility. Keeping functions short and focused helps.
• Keep your program manageable: Using a good name for each function.
• Keep your program more easily written: Call functions as needed from a main function in your app's logic.
• Keep parts of your program reusable: Use the function multiple times, and update it in one spot.
► A function contains five parts:
1. The def keyword.
2. A function name.
3. A pair of parentheses symbols (()) with input parameters are defined within them.
4. A colon symbol (:) to end the function's signature.
5. A code block below the signature, which is the body of the function that runs when the function is called.
► Make an input parameter optional by supplying a default value that is used if the caller doesn't pass an argument.
► Each pair of parameters can be separated with a comma symbol (,).
► The value None can be used when defining the default value for an input parameter.
► None is the perfect way to represent a value that doesn't exist.
