Functions
 In python we have two kinds of functions .
 First is built –in functions .
 User defined functions (with def keyword).
 This functions (built-in functions ) can also be
categories into two types i.e.
1. Fruitful Function(returns value)
2. Void Function (doesn’t return any value)
2

 Special Note :
 You can some use built-in functions in python without any
import .(for e.g . abs)
 You can use that on command prompt directly also.
 For some functions you need to import that function based
module for e.g suppose you want to calculate ceiling value
of a number using ceil function you need to import math
module first .
import math # This will import math module
print ("math.ceil(-45.17) : ", math.ceil(-45.17))
 If you use this kind functions directly with its module
importing you will get error .

 The syntax of a function call is simply
 FUNCTION NAME(ARGUMENTS)
 Not all functions take an argument, and some take
more than one (in which case the arguments are
separated by commas).
 The value or variable, which is called the argument
of the function, has to be enclosed in parentheses.
 It is common to say that a function “takes” an
argument and “returns” a result.
 The result is called the return value. 4

 Another useful function is len. It takes a Python sequence
as an argument.
 The only Python sequence we have met so far is a string.
 A string is a sequence of characters.
 For a string argument, len returns the number of characters
the string contains.

 abs() Method :
 Description: The abs() method returns the absolute value
of x i.e. the positive distance between x and zero.
 Syntax : Following is the syntax for abs() method-
 abs(x)

 Return : This method returns the absolute value of x.
 The following example shows the usage of the abs()
method.
 abs(-45): 45
 abs(100.12) : 100.12
8

i.e. the smallest integer not less than x.
 Syntax: Following is the syntax for the ceil() method
 import math
 math.ceil( x )
 Parameters
 Return Value
 This method returns the smallest integer not less than x.
 Note: This function is not accessible directly, so we need to
import math module and then we need to call this function
using the math static object.

 fabs() Method
 Description
 The fabs() method returns the absolute value of x. Although
similar to the abs()
 function, there are differences between the two functions.
They are-

module.
 • fabs() function works only on float and integer whereas abs()
works with complex number also.
 Syntax
 Following is the syntax for the fabs() method
 import math

need to import the math module and then we need

21

 Adding New Functions
 A new function can be created in python using keyword
def followed by the function name and arguments in
parathesis and statements to be executed in function
 Example:
 def requiredArg (str,num):
 Statements
 Function definitions and use
 As well as the built-in functions provided by Python you
can define your own functions.
 In the context of programming, a function is a named
sequence of statements that performs a desired
operation. This operation is specified in a function
definition. In Python, the syntax for a function definition
is: 22

 def NAME( LIST OF PARAMETERS ):
 STATEMENTS
 There can be any number of statements inside the function, but they have to be
you.
 indented from the def. In the examples in this book, we will use the standard
 indentation of four spaces3. IDLE automatically indents compound statements for
 Function definitions are the first of several compound statements we will see, all
 of which have the same pattern:
 1. A header, which begins with a keyword and ends with a colon.
 2. A body consisting of one or more Python statements, each indented the same
 amount – 4 spaces is the Python standard – from the header.
 In a function definition, the keyword in the header is def, which is followed by the
 list name of the function and a list of parameters enclosed in parentheses. The
 parameter may be empty, or it may contain any number of parameters. In either
 case, the parentheses are required. The first couple of functions we are going to no
 write have parameters, so the syntax looks like this:
23

 This function is named new_line. The empty
parentheses indicate that it has no which parameters
(that is it takes no arguments). Its body contains only a
single statement, outputs a newline character. (That’s
what happens when you use a print command without
any arguments.)
 Defining a new function does not make the function
run. To do that we need a by a function call. Function
calls contain the name of the function to be executed
 followed list of values, called arguments, which are
assigned to the parameters in the function definition.
Our first examples have an empty parameter list, so the
do function calls not take any arguments. Notice,
however, that the parentheses are required in the
function call
24

 Flow of Execution:
 In order to ensure that a function is defined before its first
use, you have to know the order in which statements are
executed, which is called the flow of execution.
 Execution always begins at the first statement of the
program. Statements are executed one at a time, in order
from top to bottom.
 Function definitions do not alter the flow of execution of
the program, but remember that statements inside the
function are not executed until the function is called.

 Although it is not common, you can define one function
inside another. In this case, the inner definition isn’t
executed until the outer function is called.
25

 Parameters and Arguments:
 Most functions require arguments.
 Arguments are values that are input to the function and
these contain the data that the function works on.
 Some functions take more than one argument.
 Inside the function, the values that are passed get
assigned to variables called parameters.
26

 Fruitful functions and Void functions:
 The return statement :
 The return statement allows you to terminate the
execution of a function before you reach the end. One
reason to use it is if you detect an error condition:
The function print square root has a parameter named x. The first thing it
does is check whether x is less than 0, in which case it displays an error
message and then uses return to exit the function. The flow of execution
immediately returns to the caller, and the remaining lines of the function are
not executed.
27

 Fruitful Functions :
 The functions that returns some value is known as
fruitful functions.
 Void Functions :
 The functions that don’t return any value is known as
Void Functions.
 you can call one function from within another. This
ability is called composition
28

 Boolean functions:
 Functions can return boolean values, which is often
convenient for hiding complicated tests inside functions.
For example:
29

 Void Functions:
 Void functions are functions, like ‘print_twice’ (that we
defined earlier), that perform an action (either display
something on the screen or perform some other action).
However, they do not return a value.
30

 Importing with from:
 We can use functions in modules in three different
ways:
 Import a module object in Python:
 If you import math, you get a module object named
math. The module object contains constants like pi and
functions like sin and exp.
31

 Import an object from a module in Python:
32

 Import all objects from a module in Python :
 >>> from math import*
 The advantage of importing everything from the math
module is that your code can be more concise.

 The disadvantage is that there might be conflicts
between names defined in different modules, or between
a name from a module and one of your variables.
33

 Recursion:
 Recursion is a way of programming or coding a problem, in
which a function calls itself one or more times in its body.
Usually, it is returning the return value of this function call.
If a function definition fulfils the condition of recursion,
we call this function a recursive function.
 Termination condition: A recursive function has to
terminate to be used in a program.
 A recursive function terminates, if with every recursive call
the solution of the problem is downsized and moves
towards a base case.
 A base case is a case, where the problem can be solved
without further recursion.
 A recursion can lead to an infinite loop, if the base case is
not met in the calls.
34

 Recursion functions in Python:
 Now we come to implement the factorial in Python. It's
as easy and elegant as the mathematical definition.
35

 STRINGS:
 A String Is A sequence of Characters Strings in Python
are identified as a contiguous set of characters
represented in the quotation marks.
 Python allows either pair of single or double quotes.
Subsets of strings can be taken using the slice operator
([ ] and [:]) with indexes starting at 0 in the beginning of
the string and working their way from -1 to the end.
 The plus (+) sign is the string concatenation operator
and the asterisk (*) is repetition operator
36

 Traversal as a For Loop:
 A lot of computations involve processing a string one
character at a time.
 Often they start at the beginning, select each character
in turn, do something to it, and continue until the end.
 This pattern of processing is called a traversal.
 Python provides a very useful language feature for
traversing many compound types— the for loop:
 >>> fruit ='banana'
 >>> for char in fruit:
 print(char)
 The above piece of code can be understood as an abbreviated version of an English
sentence: “For each character in the string fruit, print out the character”. The for loop is an
example of an iterator: something that visits or selects every element in a structure (in this
case a string), usually in turn. The for loop also works on other compound types such as lists
and tuples, which we will look at later.
38

 prefixes = "JKLMNOPQ“
 suffix = "ack“
 for letter in prefixes:
 print letter + suffix
 The output of this program is:
 Jack
 Kack
 Lack
 Mack
 Nack
 Nack
 Oack
 Pack
 Qack
39

 String Slices:
 A substring of a string is called a slice.
 Selecting a slice is similar to selecting a character:
 >>> s = "Peter, Paul, and Mary"
 >>> print(s[0:5])
 Peter
 >>> print(s[7:11])
 Paul
 >>> print(s[17:21])
 Mary
 Note :The operator [n:m] returns the part of the string
from the nth character to the mth character, including the
first but excluding the last.
40

41
If you omit the first index (before the colon), the slice starts at the beginning of the
string. If you omit the second index, the slice goes to the end of the string. Thus:

 Strings Are Immutable:
 Strings are immutable, which means you can’t change an
existing string.
 The best you can do is create a new string that is a
variation on the original:
 >>> greeting = "Hello, world!"
 >>> newGreeting = "J" + greeting[1:]
 >>> print(newGreeting)
 Jello, world!
 The solution here is to concatenate a new first letter
onto a slice of greeting.
 This operation has no effect on the original string.
42

 Searching within a string:
 It determines if string str occurs in string, or in a
substring of string if starting index beg and ending
index end are given.
43

 >>> str1 = "this is string example....wow!!!"
 >>> str2 = "exam"
 >>> print(str1.find(str2))
 15
 >>> print(str1.find(str2, 10))
 15
 >>> print(str1.find(str2, 40))
 -1
 Note : if the required sub string is not found in
available string i.e. no index found so it will always
return -1.
44

 String Methods:
 In addition to the functions that we have seen so far there
is also a special type of function called a method.
 You can think of a method as a function which is
attached to a certain type of variable (e.g. a string).
 When calling a function you just need the name of the
function followed by parentheses (possibly with some
arguments inside).
 VARIABLE.METHODNAME(ARGUMENTS)
45

 The in operator:
 The in operator tests if one string is a substring of
another:
46

 QUICK REVISION :
 In python we have two kinds of functions .
 First is built –in functions .
 User defined functions (with def keyword).
 This functions (built-in functions ) can also be
categories into two types i.e.
1. Fruitful Function(returns value)
2. Void Function (doesn’t return any value).
 A new function can be created in python using keyword
def followed by the function name and arguments in
parathesis and statements to be executed in function.

 Arguments are values that are input to the function and
these contain the data that the function works on.
 Inside the function, the values that are passed get
assigned to variables called parameters.
