Functions are groups of statements that perform a specific task on your data. Functions typically take the following structure:
Function(argument1, argument2.....argumentx)
In this section, you will learn how to:
Copy the following code on the left in your IDE to execute the process shown in the image on the right.
Revealing the Content of a Variable | print(argument)
We have used print a couple of times in this guide. Print is one of the most frequently used functions.
name1 ="Raquel"
print (name1)
Finding the Highest Number in a List | max(list)
list3 = [1, 17, 25]
print (max(list3))
Finding the Lowest Number in a List | min(list)
list3 = [1, 17, 25]
print(min(list3))
Finding the Last Word in Alphabetical Order | max(list)
names = ("Xay","Sheila", "Rhonda", "Jay", "Bob")
print(max(names))
Finding the First Word in Alphabetical Order | min(list)
names = ("Xay","Sheila", "Rhonda", "Jay", "Bob")
print(min(names))
Alphabetically Sorting a List of Strings | type(variable)
names = ("Xay","Sheila", "Rhonda", "Jay", "Bob")
print(sorted(names))
View Object Type | type(variable)
name = "Jason"
print(type(name))
Absolute Value | abs(number)
print(abs(-99))
Power Function | pow(base, exponent)
print(pow(7,2))
Rounding | round(number, decimal places)
print(round(14.9234))
print(round (14.9234, 2))
print(round (14.9234, 3)) 
Finding the Length of a String Variable | len(string)
name = "Sheila"
print(len(name)) 
Finding the Length of a List | len(list)
cars = ["Toyota", "Honda"]
print(len(cars)) 
Adding Numbers | sum(list of numbers)
summ = sum([1,5,6,7])
print(summ)
