    The document discusses user-defined functions in Python. It covers defining functions without parameters, with one parameter, and functions that return values. It also discusses multiple arguments, multiple return values, tuples, and accessing tuple elements. The document provides examples of defining functions that take multiple parameters and return multiple values in a tuple. It emphasizes the basic ingredients of a function include the function header, body, and return statement.

    You’ll learn:
    De ne functions without parameters

    De ne functions with one parameter

    De ne functions that return a value

    Later: multiple arguments, multiple return values

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    Built-in functions
    str()

    x = str(5)

    print(x)

    '5'

    print(type(x))

    <class 'str'>

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    De ning a function
    def square(): # <- Function header

    new_value = 4 ** 2 # <- Function body


    print(new_value)

    square()

    16

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    Function parameters
    def square(value):
    new_value = value ** 2
    print(new_value)

    square(4)

    16

    square(5)

    25

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    Return values from functions
    Return a value from a function using return

    def square(value):
    new_value = value ** 2
    return new_value

    num = square(4)

    print(num)

    16

    Docstrings
    Docstrings describe what your function does

    Serve as documentation for your function

    Placed in the immediate line after the function header

    In between triple double quotes """

    def square(value):
    """Return the square of a value."""
    new_value = value ** 2
    return new_value

    Multiple function parameters
    Accept more than 1 parameter:

    def raise_to_power(value1, value2):


    """Raise value1 to the power of value2."""
    new_value = value1 ** value2
    return new_value

    Call function: # of arguments = # of parameters

    result = raise_to_power(2, 3)

    print(result)

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    A quick jump into tuples
    Make functions return multiple values: Tuples!

    Tuples:
    Like a list - can contain multiple values

    Immutable - can’t modify values!

    Constructed using parentheses ()

    even_nums = (2, 4, 6)

    print(type(even_nums))

    <class 'tuple'>

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    Unpacking tuples
    Unpack a tuple into several print(a)
    variables:
    2
    even_nums = (2, 4, 6)

    a, b, c = even_nums print(b)

    print(c)

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    Accessing tuple elements
    Access tuple elements like you second_num = even_nums[1]
    do with lists:
    print(second_num)
    even_nums = (2, 4, 6)

    print(even_nums[1]) 4

    Uses zero-indexing
    4

    PYTHON DATA SCIENCE TOOLBOX (PART 1)


    Returning multiple values
    def raise_both(value1, value2):
    """Raise value1 to the power of value2
    and vice versa."""

    new_value1 = value1 ** value2


    new_value2 = value2 ** value1

    new_tuple = (new_value1, new_value2)

    return new_tuple

    result = raise_both(2, 3)

    print(result)

    (8, 9)
