Python Tutorial for Beginners 8: Functions

In this Python Beginner Tutorial, we will begin learning how to write functions. Functions are one of the most important things to learn in Python Programming and will take us to the next level. We will learn how to create/define functions, how to pass in arguments, and also how to return values. Let's get started.

Never thought I'd be binge watching Python tutorials

[dontwatchmydoomvideos]

been here for 7 seconds, already better than my college professor. don't waste money on a class for this.

Yes! "an executed function is equal to the RETURN value" brilliant! Finally somebody explained this to me! CodeAcademy failed to explain this, as well as other youtube channels. SUBBD

[pchebbi]

Your teachings are thorough. Your teachings are complete, precise. Your teachings dispel confusions and brings-in clarity. So much of sincerity and totality in your commitment to teaching is visible in each of your video! I must applaud you. Take a bow... Mr. Corey!

[reissner]

I love that your videos are FAST paced, CLEAR with no idle chatter and with QUICK examples that show every aspect of what you are teaching. Of all the Python tutorials, yours are the best. :)

[dennismegaffin]

very professional, no "umm"ing, direct, concise, each point logically builds upon the last. Very impressed. I am progressively working my way through all of your videos. Thank you!

[iscottjones]

I've spent so much time trying to understand functions and you are the only one that has explained it clear enough for me to understand. Thanks for this!

[elisapfau]

Corey, I'm working my way through your Python Programming Beginner Tutorials playlist. I just want to stop and say I'm so grateful that I found your videos. In addition to clearly having a deep knowledge of Python (and programming in general), you are *such* an incredibly gifted and skilled teacher. Thank you for putting such care into these videos and making them free to anyone who wishes to learn. You are making STEM more inclusive and accessible for everyone, and frankly that makes you The Man.

My mind is clear and peaceful after watch this lesson. Finally i can understand others tutorials better.
Thanks for explaining functions in details. I needed this for long time.
I will forever be grateful about that

[thelearner]

just finished this 20 min lecture in 1 hour, your each word contains so many information that is way beyond the expectations,
Thanks a lot Sir for teaching function

Hi Corey, I’m learning Python and my lecture has a habit of making simple things hard, I’ve watched two of your videos and been able to get up to date, and you have managed to give me more depth and detail in 30 minutes where as I have had 2 hour classes and come out confused. Keep the videos coming they are a real benefit to people new to Python.

[theamazingspiderduck]

I can't thank you enough for how straight forward learning python has been since watching your tutorials from the very beginning. Thank you for posting these awesome tutorials. I wish i could provide more support to your channel other than liking and subscribing but once my finances improve, you will definitely be my first patreon subscription.

[dapperdudedan]

I've never used Python before in my life, let alone functions in Python. This explanation made everything clear as day. Thanks!

[dharmateja]

The so long confusion about args and kwargs ended here . Crystal Clear explanation. Thanks Corey :)

[sebastiancaro]

Who else is watching this in 2020? I've learned more from you than any of my professors during my college experience! Keep up the great work!!!

[kianushghahari]

This is how a beginner's course should be. Fast, clear and straight to the point with no new or confusing stuff that leaves one hanging. People would pay for your videos on a source like UDEMY and as a person living in a country with no online payment possibility I seriously appreciate you work. And the fact that it's actually an Englishman teaching the course is just cherry on top. Cheers Mr.Schafer.

[demolazer]

I thoroughly recommend having an IDE open alongside to code along with the tutorial. Really helps learn. I find by just watching a Python video I barely retain any of it.

[Michael-izqd]

This is great! I am new to Python and by just reading the book for my class I was having a hard time, but after this video I have gained a better grasp on how it all works! Thank you!!

[iy.ak]

Video paused at 12:29, *mouth opened, *eyes popped, #MINDBLOWN at how you make this simplified.
Thank you so much. Prolly gonna binge-watch your videos all weekend.

[ThatsMyCoffee]

Thank you. I watched 2 other videos on functions and it didn't 'click' until I watched yours. Wrote my code and it ran successfully! Re-wrote it a different way and that also works.
