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>

                  Calling a Function

                  A function can be called anytime from other functions or from the command prompt after the
                  definition. For calling a function, we type the function and pass the parameters. For example:
