    Study Notes

    Statements in Python

    • A statement in Python is an instruction that the interpreter executes.
    • The most commonly used type of statement in Python is the assignment statement.

    Assignment Statement

    • An assignment statement assigns a value to a variable.

    Extending Statements over Multiple Lines

    • A Python statement can be extended over multiple lines using parentheses, brackets, or the line continuation character ().

    Statements with No Result

    • A statement that does not produce a result in Python is called a "procedure" or "command".

    Functions in Python

    • Breaking a program into smaller modular chunks using functions makes it easier to manage and maintain.
    • Functions allow for code reuse and reduce code duplication.

    Built-in Functions

    • Built-in functions include functions like len(), type(), and abs() in Python.

    Documenting Functions

    • The optional documentation string of a function should be placed immediately after the function definition, inside a triple-quoted string.

    Function Arguments

    • Arguments are specified when passing information into a function by placing them in parentheses after the function name.

    The 'return' Statement

    • The role of the 'return' statement in a Python function is to send a value back to the caller.

    Benefits of Modular Programming

    • The primary benefit of breaking a program into smaller modular chunks using functions is that it makes the code more organized, readable, and maintainable.

    Function Documentation

    • The optional documentation string of a function in Python should be placed immediately after the function definition, inside a triple-quoted string.

    The 'return' Statement

    • The role of the 'return' statement in a Python function is to send a value back to the caller.

    Built-in Functions

    • Built-in functions in Python include functions like len(), type(), and abs().

    Extending Statements over Multiple Lines

    • A Python statement can be extended over multiple lines using parentheses, brackets, or the line continuation character ().
