Python Functions

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

A function reaching return stops executing immediately and sends the value back; a function with no return statement at all simply returns None. [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

• Function — a reusable block of code that only runs when called; helps avoid repetition. [S1]
• def keyword — defines a function: def my_function(): .... [S1]
• Function naming — same rules as variables (start with letter/underscore, alphanumeric+underscore only, case-sensitive). [S1]
• return — sends a value back and immediately stops execution. [S1]
• No return → None — a function without a return statement returns None by default. [S1]
• pass — required for a syntactically empty function body. [S1]

🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)

• DRY via functions — the canonical motivating example is replacing repeated Fahrenheit→Celsius conversion code with one fahrenheit_to_celsius() function called multiple times. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

• Basic definition and call: def my_function(): print("Hello from a function"); my_function(). [S1]
• Reusable calculation: def fahrenheit_to_celsius(fahrenheit): return (fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9. [S1]
• Using the return value directly: print(get_greeting()). [S1]
• Empty placeholder: def my_function(): pass. [S1]

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 이후 Arguments/Scope/Lambda/Recursion/Generators 챕터 전체의 기초가 되는 개론이다. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Reusable function replacing repeated code (Python):

def fahrenheit_to_celsius(fahrenheit):
    return (fahrenheit - 32) * 5 / 9

print(fahrenheit_to_celsius(77))
print(fahrenheit_to_celsius(95))
