    Study Notes

    Function Purpose

    • Functions are designed to perform specific tasks within a program.
    • They organize code, making it easier to read, maintain, and reuse.

    Functions with No Return Value

    • Functions without a return value are often used to perform actions that modify the program's state, such as updating variables or printing output.

    Benefits of Using Functions

    • Functions promote code reusability, allowing you to call the same code block repeatedly without rewriting it.
    • They improve code organization and readability, breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable units.

    Function Parameters

    • Function parameters are variables that act as inputs to a function, providing data that the function operates on during execution.

    Scope of Variables Inside a Function

    • Variables declared inside a function are considered local variables and their scope is limited to the function's execution block.
    • This means that variables within a function are inaccessible from outside the function's scope.
