Learn Python with ChatGPT. Function: docstrings , errors handling, multiple values return (Part 3)

In this video, we continue our discussion on the functions in Python, answering three more important questions with the help of ChatGPT. Firstly, we cover the topic of adding documentation to Python functions, which involves writing comments that explain the function's purpose, its arguments, and its return values. Proper documentation is crucial in making it easier for other programmers to understand and use your functions, and we provide an example of a Python function with documentation.

Secondly, we discuss the importance of handling errors or exceptions in Python functions. This involves anticipating potential errors, such as incorrect argument types, and responding to them in a way that prevents program crashes or incorrect results. We demonstrate this with examples of functions like dividing numbers, which can produce a ZeroDivisionError if the second number is zero. We show how using try and except blocks can handle these errors and produce meaningful feedback for the user.

Lastly, we explore the topic of Python functions returning multiple values. We explain the concept of tuples, which are comma-separated lists of values enclosed in parentheses, and how Python functions can return multiple values by returning them as a tuple. We provide an example of a function that takes a list of numbers and returns a tuple containing the count, sum, and average of the numbers in the list.

Throughout the video, we use ChatGPT to answer questions and provide further insight into the concepts discussed. By the end of the video, viewers will have a solid understanding of how to add documentation to their Python functions, handle errors and exceptions, and return multiple values.
