Oreilly – Python Functions Deep Dive Part 1: Improve Code Organization and Increase Code Reusability 2024-5

Python Functions Deep Dive Part 1: Improve Code Organization and Increase Code Reusability. Python functions are an essential tool for any developer looking to create efficient, reusable, and organized code. This course teaches you how to use functions to structure your code, breaking it into smaller, reusable, self-contained blocks. You’ll also learn how to create simple functions using the “def” keyword, write documentation strings, and document functions to provide detailed descriptions of their functionality, inputs, and outputs, and how to use them.

Additionally, you’ll explore the details of function arguments, including positional and keyword arguments, as well as default function arguments. You’ll learn how to use variable-length arguments to pass different numbers of arguments to a function and increase its flexibility. The course also covers other important topics such as using recursive functions to solve complex problems and lambda functions to create in-place anonymous functions.
