Functions in Python help split large code into smaller units. Functions make a program more organized and easy to manage.

In Python functions will assume the syntax form below:

def name_of_function (arguments):

“””docstring”””

statements(s)

Example

Start IDLE.

Navigate to the File menu and click New Window.

Type the following:

def welcome(salute):

"""The Python function welcomes you to

the individual passed in as

parameter"""

print("Welcome " + salute + ". Lovely Day!")
