š Flashcards:
{
"title": "Python Functions",
"flashcards": [
{
"front": "What is a function in Python?",
"back": "A block of reusable code that performs a specific task. It improves code organization, readability, and reusability.",
"explanation": "Functions take input (arguments), process it, and may return an output. They help avoid code duplication and make programs easier to maintain."
},
{
"front": "Define function parameters and arguments.",
"back": "Parameters are variables listed inside the parentheses in a function's definition. Arguments are the values passed to these parameters when the function is called.",
"explanation": "For example, in `def my_function(param1, param2):`, `param1` and `param2` are parameters. When you call `my_function(10, 20)`, 10 and 20 are the arguments."
},
{
"front": "Explain the `return` statement in a function.",
"back": "The `return` statement specifies the value that a function sends back to the caller after its execution.",
"explanation": "If a function doesn't have a `return` statement, it implicitly returns `None`. The `return` statement can also be used to exit a function early."
},
{
"front": "What are default arguments in Python functions?",
"back": "Default arguments provide default values for function parameters. If a caller doesn't provide a value for a parameter with a default, the default value is used.",
"explanation": "Example: `def greet(name='Guest'): print(f'Hello, {name}!')`"
},
{
"front": "What is a recursive function?",
"back": "A function that calls itself within its own definition.",
"explanation": "Recursive functions are useful for solving problems that can be broken down into smaller, self-similar subproblems. They require a base case to stop the recursion, otherwise, they'll run indefinitely (stack overflow)."
}
