Ivory Tower

Let's Define some Functions!

  • Functions can be defined in Python using the "def" keyword in the form "def FunctionName(Variable)"
  • The variable listed in parentheses is the parameter that can be passed to the function when it is being called

    • Usage:

    def myfunction(var1):

    ... print "Hello World!"

    ... print var1

    • This example function will print "Hello World" then print the value of the "var1" variable
    • If we want to return a value to the code that called the function, we use "return variablename"

      • Hosts: Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ and Shannon Morse

      Guest: Dale Chase
