Problem Solving with Functions

Build complex programs using functions

1Breaking Down Problems✨

💻 code
Big problem → Multiple small functions

2Game Example🎯

💻 code
def get_player_input():
    return input("Enter choice: ")
💻 code
def check_winner(player, computer):
    if player == computer:
        return "Tie!"
    # ... more logic
💻 code
def play_game():
    for i in range(3):
        player = get_player_input()
        computer = random_choice()
        result = check_winner(player, computer)
        print(result)

3Calculator Program💡

💻 code
def add(a, b): return a + b
def subtract(a, b): return a - b
def multiply(a, b): return a * b
def divide(a, b): return a / b
💻 code
def calculate():
    operation = input("+ - * /: ")
    num1 = float(input("Number 1: "))
    num2 = float(input("Number 2: "))
💻 code
    if operation == "+":
        print(add(num1, num2))
    # ... more operations

4Design Tips🚀

  • 1. One function = one job
  • 2. Use clear names
  • 3. Keep functions small
  • 4. Test each function
