Week 7-8:

Functions and Modular Programming


Understanding the Concept of Functions

• Functions are blocks of code that perform a specific task.


• They promote code reusability and maintainability.
• Functions make your code organized and easier to understand.
• a function has a name. The name can be anything that
we want it to be.

• It also (sometimes) has parameters. Information that


goes into the function.

• And also (sometimes) a return value


Defining and Calling Functions
Defining Functions

 The def keyword is used to define a function.


 greet is the function name.
 (name) are the parameters the function accepts.
 The colon : indicates the start of the function's body.
Calling Functions

 To execute a function, you call it with arguments.


 ("Alice") is the argument passed to the greet function.
Parameters and Arguments in
Functions

 Parameters are placeholders for values that a function expects.


 Arguments are the actual values passed when calling the function.
 python
Example-
Positional argument
Keyword argument

Exercises

1.Write a Python function that takes a list of numbers as input and returns the sum of all the
even numbers in the list.
2.Create a function that converts a temperature in Celsius to Fahrenheit. The function should
take a Celsius temperature as input and return the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit.
3.Create a function that checks if a given string is a palindrome (reads the same forwards and
backward). The function should return True if it's a palindrome and False if it's not.
4.Implement a function that calculates the factorial of a given integer. The function should
take an integer as input and return its factorial.
5.Write a function that takes a list of words and returns the longest word in the list. If there
are multiple words with the same maximum length, return all of them in a list.

2. Create a function that converts a temperature in Celsius to Fahrenheit. The function should
take a Celsius temperature as input and return the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit.
(Fahrenheit = (Celsius * 9/5) + 32)
slicing notation- slice that starts at the end of the string, and moves backwards. In this particular
example, the slice statement [::-1] means start at the end of the string and end at position 0, move
with the step -1 , negative one, which means one step backwards.
3. Create a function that checks if a given string is a palindrome (reads the same forwards and
backward). The function should return True if it's a palindrome and False if it's not.
4. Implement a function that calculates the factorial of a given integer. The function
should take an integer as input and return its factorial.
5. Write a function that takes a list of words and returns the longest word in the list. If there are multiple

words with the same maximum length, return all of them in a list.
max() function in Python
Syntax:

Parameters:
1.iterable: This parameter is iterable. For example, tuple, list, dictionary, set, and a lot more.
2.*iterables (optional): This is an optional parameter indicating multiple iterables.
3.key (optional): This is also an optional parameter. This parameter works when the iterables are
passed, and the comparison is made on the basis of its return value.
4.default (optional): This is another optional parameter providing the default value to the
function if the specified iterable is void.
Example
Python Lambda

• A lambda function is a small anonymous function.


• A lambda function can take any number of arguments, but can only have one
expression.

Syntax
Using Lambda Expression
list() Function The python list() creates a list in python.

Syntax :
Python List sort() Method

Syntax :

- key (optional): A function to execute to decide the order. Default is None.


- reverse (optional): A Boolean. If True, the list is sorted in descending
order. Default is False.
Example: ascending
Example: descending
Using Lambda Function with filter()

Syntax:
num = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] num = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
my_list = filter(lambda x: x<3, num) my_list = list(filter(lambda x: x<3, num))
print(list(my_list)) print(my_list)
Example
Using Lambda Function with map()

Syntax:

to each item of the numbers list, and the result is a new iterator containing the squared
values of each number.
Example
The main difference between a map and a filter is the return of values. A map will always
have a representation for elements in the list. The filter will filter out the only elements that
will meet the conditions in the function.
