Python 3 Console Skills – 3 Functions

A function is an independent, named chunk of code that performs a specific operation. It can be run or called by referring to it by name, along with any information called arguments it needs to do its job.

They sometimes have different names. They may also be called routines, sub-routines, procedures, messages or methods.
