    Body of the Function: The body of the function contains Python statements that make our
                        function perform the required task.

                        Syntax of creating a function is:

                         def < name of the function > (list of parameters):
                                 <body>
                                 <return statement>

                               CALLING A FUNCTION

                     A function can be called anytime from other functions or from the command prompt after the
                     definition.  To call a function,  type  the  function  name  followed by  parentheses.  If  the  function
                     requires parameters, include them inside the parentheses. For example:

                                    def my_function( ):                                   Name of a function

                                         print ("Hello")                                  Body of a function

                                    my_function( )                                        Function call

                     Program 1: To print a string by calling a function.

                          Program1.py
                      File  Edit  Format  Run    Options  Window    Help

                      # Function Example
                      def hello(name):
                          print("Hello "+name+"! How do you do?")
                      # Calling Function by passing parameter
                      hello ('orange')

                     On running the above program, you will get the following output:

                          Output
                      Hello orange! How do you do?

                                                                                          Functions and String in Python  93
