Lesson 15
Problem Solving with Functions
Build complex programs using functions
1Breaking Down Problems✨
💻 code
Big problem → Multiple small functions2Game 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 operations4Design Tips🚀
- 1. One function = one job
- 2. Use clear names
- 3. Keep functions small
- 4. Test each function
