1 function&&more operations

function starts with key word "def",such as an example

 

def compute_area(base,height):

  area= ( 1 /2 ) * base * height;

  return area

 

 

the end of the header is a colon,means the following lines indented belongs to the function,no matther how many lines, but with the same amount

 

so,the block indented with a same amount belongs to the function

 

in last case , it has 2 lines(with the same amount indented).

when you stop the indentation , the block of code is done

 

Call the function 

a1 = compute_area(3,8)

print a1

#print 12

 

 

def print_hello():

     print "hello world"

 

Call the function

print_hello()          

#OK

a=print_hello()

print a;

#will print "None"

 

if you forget or you dont need a return statement,it automatically add one

a="0"

b="1"

+operator

combine the strings

print a+b+":00"

#show "01:00"

 

function str: convert something to string

such as

hour=3

print str(hour)

 

 

import module:

 

such as

improt math

improt simplegui

 

print math.pi

 

improt random
