What to Focus On

  • A function runs only when it is called.
  • A function may take input data.
  • A function may return a result.
  • Built-in functions are already available in Python.
  • They make programming simpler and faster.
  • Some functions convert types, some check values, and some work with numbers.
  • int() converts to integer and truncates decimal part.
  • float() converts values to floating-point form.
  • input() always returns a string.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A function runs automatically as soon as it is defined.

Parameters and arguments mean the same thing in every place.

A function call can be written without parentheses if there are no arguments.
