    Function Names in Python

    • A legal function name in Python is a valid identifier that starts with a letter or an underscore, followed by zero or more letters, underscores, or digits.
    • Python is case-sensitive, meaning that uppercase and lowercase letters are treated as distinct characters in function names.

    The 'pass' Keyword

    • The 'pass' keyword is used as a placeholder when a function or a control structure requires a statement, but no action is required.

    Function Parameters

    • Function parameters in Python can be of any data type, not just limited to one type.
    • There is no restriction on the data type of function parameters; they can be of different types.

    Indentation

    • In Python, the body of a function is indented by 4 spaces to define the function's block of code.

    Restrictions on Function Names

    • Python reserves some special words that cannot be used as function names.
    • Function names in Python cannot contain spaces, newlines, or punctuation.
