Python Functions is a block of code that works on variable input and produces output. Functions offer higher modularity for your application and a high degree of code reusing.
Features of Functions
- Function is a block of code which is executed when it is called.
- You can pass information, referred to as parameters, into a function.
- A function can return information as a result.
Creating a Function
In python def keyword is used to define a function
def myFunction(): print("Hello from function")
Calling a Function

# Calling a Function myFunction()
Passing Parameter to Functions

print("Hello",fname,message)
myFunction1("Huzaif","How are you?")
myFunction1()
# Output -> ('Hello', 'India', 'How are you?')

# Return Value
def myFunction2(num):
return 4 * num
x = myFunction2(5) # returned value store in x
print(x)
# Output -> 20
