How Functions Function • A Deeper Dive Into Python Functions

Taking Python functions to the next level
What you'll learn:
Master intermediate and advanced Python function topics
Learn about required and optional parameters (default values)
Learn about using positional and keyword arguments
Learn about positional-only and keyword-only arguments
Learn about args and kwargs
Learn about generator functions
Requirements:
This is an intermediate course on functions. You should already be familiar with defining functions.
Description:
This course covers Python functions at intermediate and advanced levels. Once students have mastered the fundamentals of defining and calling functions, they're ready to start exploring more advanced topics. This course enables students to write more flexible and powerful functions and to be better placed to use functions in the standard library and third-party packages.Functions allow you to package code so you can re-use it flexibly and efficiently whenever and wherever you need to. Understanding all the options available when creating parameters and passing arguments is key to be able to define and use functions effectively.This course covers the following topics:Positional and keyword arguments, and the requirements when mixing argument categories.Optional arguments with default values*args and **kwargsPositional-only and keyword-only arguments using / and *Generator functions using the `yield` keyword---About me, your instructorI've been teaching Python for a decade. Before that, I worked as a physicist and used programming in my research work for over a decade.My focus is on communicating clearly, in a friendly and relaxed manner. I'm the author of the The Python Coding Book (you can ask Google for a "python book" and you'll find this book as one of the first entries) and I have taught Python to individuals and corporations around the world.And I'm approachable. You can ask me questions and I'll always reply, whether here on social media or anywhere else you can find me!
Who this course is for:
This course is for Python learners ready to move to more intermediate topics
This course is ideal for those who are ready to explore Python functions in more detail
