Day 11 – Python Functions: Returns, Callbacks, Lambda & Recursion Today’s focus was on going deeper into Python functions and understanding how flexible and powerful they really are. What I learned and practiced today: How return works in functions Any code written after return is ignored A function can return values and also be printed when called Difference between: Calling a function Assigning a function to a variable and calling it later Functions are first-class objects in Python, which means: A function can be assigned to a variable Stored inside data structures like lists and tuples Passed as an argument to another function (callback function) Returned from another function (higher-order function) Higher-Order & Callback Functions: A function that takes another function as an argument is a higher-order function A function passed as an argument is called a callback function Practiced executing functions stored inside a list Anonymous (Lambda) Functions: Learned how to define functions without a name using lambda Practiced: Lambda without parameters Lambda with single and multiple parameters Default values in lambda *args and **kwargs with lambda functions Recursion Concepts: A function calling itself based on a condition is called recursion Understood: Base condition to stop recursion Memory usage concerns with recursion Why loops are often preferred over recursion Implemented: Printing numbers using recursion Printing ranges using recursion Problem-Solving with Functions: Multiplication table using a function Printing numbers in a given range Prepared tasks for: Practicing all function types with syntax and examples Re-implementing previous problems using functions Using both user-defined and predefined functions Day by day, my understanding of Python is getting stronger, especially around functional concepts and code reusability. #Python #PythonFunctions #LambdaFunctions #Recursion #HigherOrderFunctions #CallbackFunctions #ProgrammingBasics #LearningPython #DailyLearning #StudentDeveloper
