Lab 6 Function

This document discusses user-defined functions in Python. It provides examples of defining functions with different parameters, using default parameter values, and returning values from functions. The lab work section asks students to write functions to compute the length of a sequence and to sum numbers within a given range by calling predefined functions.

Function

Eng. Ibraheem Lubbad

Functions allow us to group a number of statements into a block of cade to organized reusable
code that is used to perform a single, related action
Python gives you many built-in functions like len(), etc. but you can also create your own
functions. These functions are called user-defined functions.

Syntax of funcation
def function_name( parameters ):

return [expression]

Example:

Example 1
def print_st( ):

print "Hello from function"

return
No
parameters (inputs)

To use print_st, function you have to call the function as print_st ()

Example 1
print_st()
Example 2
One
def print_st( word ): parameter (input)
print word
return

To use print_st, function you have to call the function as print_st (input)

Example 2
print_st("Python")

Example 1
def print_st( word ):
print word
return

If you use function without pass parameter will get error.

Example 1
print_st()
 Default value:
A default value is value that assumes if a value is not provided in the function call for that
argument.

Example 1
def print_st( name="Ali" ):
print "Name : " , name
return

In this case we not pass value to so name parameter will use default value.

Example 1
print_st()

If we pass value to name, then print new value

Example 1
print_st("ibraheem")
 The return Statement
The statement return [expression] exits a function, use to passing back an expression to the
caller. A return statement with no parameter is the same as return None.
All the above examples are not returning any value. You can return a value from a function as
follows:

Write function to sum two number

Example 1
def sum_fun( num1,num2 ):
x=num1+num2

return x

print " result sum 5,9 = ",sum_fun(5,9)


Lab Work:

Q1) Write function to compute the length of sequence (String, list ,Tupe ) as len() function

Example 1

def my_len(seq):
count = 0;
for i in seq:
count=count +1

return count;

items=["orange","apple","banana",5,8]
x=my_len(items)

print "length items list = ", x

Q2) Write function to sum numbers between x to y

Example 1
def sum_range(x,y):
s=0

for i in range(x, y+1 ):


s= s+ i

return s
We can use sum_range f unction to sum numbers between 0 -10 , 1-100 and 10-50.

Example 1
def sum_range(x,y):
s=0

for i in range(x, y+1 ):


s= s+ i

return s

a= sum_range(0,10)
b= sum_range(1,100)
c= sum_range(10,50)

print "sum numbers between 0 - 10 = ", a


print "sum numbers between 1 - 100 = ", b
print "sum numbers between 10 - 50 = ", c
