How to Write Functions In Python
Tags: python, beginners, tutorial, programming
Published: 2023-12-31 10:42:24

One of the biggest syntaxes used in any programming language is Functions. And Python does not err in that regard.

Functions definition are very important part of writing Python. In this article, You will learn the concept of function in Python, and how to define and call a function in Python.

##Defining Functions
There are a ton of built-in functions in Python. That is a very great, if not one of the greatest invention in Python. Regardless, you cannot sufficiently build a program using built-in functions alone.

Hence, a need to understand how to declare and call your own function in Python.

The syntax for defining a function in Python is written below;

```
#definig a my function
def my_function:
  print('I have defined my Function')
```
The  `my_function`  above is a very basic function that simply outputs the string “I have defined my own Function”

In the function above, we are only defining “mu_function”. To call the function, we’d have to write out the function with a parenthesis after its name.

```
#let's call my_function
my_function()
```
This is the case for basic functions. But many times in real-life scenarios, we want our functions to perform a specific task. To do this, our function will have to accept some parameter(s) to enable it to run the required task at hand.

###Case study

We want our function to greet someone.

To do this, we’d have some arguments in our function called name. Then write the function to greet the name we have defined. Let’s walk through this together.

```
#a function to greet anyone
def greet(name):
  print("Greetings ", name)

#call the greet function with my name
greet(Emmanuel)

#showing the output in docstring
"""output will be: 
  Greetings Emmanuel
"""
```
This code block defines a function called greet, requires an argument called name to send its greetings to.

In `my_function` above, we are passing the argument name in and allowing the name to be passed when called.

Currently, if our function is called without a name passed to it, it will output only the word “Greetings”, but we don’t want that, we want our function to always mention a name when greeting

One interesting thing we can do is to set a default name for the argument, that way our function will not break. If a name is not passed, it will revert to our default name and send our greetings to that name.



```
#a function to greet anyone
def greet(name = "Emmanuel"):
  print("Greetings ", name)

#call the greet function with my name
#output 1
greet()

#output 2
greet(John)

#showing the output  in docstring
#output 1
"""output will be: 
  Greetings Emmanuel
"""

#output 2
"""output will be: 
  Greetings John
"""
```

With this solution, we have created a simple function that receives an argument and executes a “greeting” task.

##Recap

Some of the things you have learnt from this article include;

- How to define a function

- How to declare and pass argument in a function

- How to call a function

- Using Docstring

I hope you have a great time working with python.

Until next time, Don’t get bitten! 🐸

Learn Artificial Intelligence In 2days!!

Learn artificial intelligence in 2days!!!, 

The constant rise of YouTube videos with captions such as "Learn coding in days and weeks and get a job" needs to stop.  

A lot of people are pushed into the tech ecosystem as a get-reach-quick scheme and end up realising it is way more difficult than advertised. 

I believe more conversation is needed to inform more newbies that tech is a rigorous lifestyle that one must embark on.  

Success is not instantaneous but long term.

Sloths rock!
Published: 2023-12-31 09:58:13

Hey, I just noticed the moderator bot Sloan is also a sloth! Just arrived and feeling very much at home here. But my sloth was intended to be a three toed sloth rather than two toed (I needed to be very explicit about this with DALL-E because it was going wild with the sloth toes).

Happy to meet other sloths wanting to move slow and happily achieve goals, even if small.

The shell real power
Tags: bash, shell
Published: 2023-12-31 09:22:33

## How some people use shell (to sum odd numbers for example)

```sh
sum_odd_int_array() {
    local sum=0
    for x in "$@"; do
        if (( x % 2 != 0 )); then
           (( sum+=x ))
        fi
    done
    echo $sum
}

array=(1 2 3 4 5)
sum_odd_int_array ${array[@]}
```
## The magic of pipes

```sh
seq -s+ 1 2 5 | bc
```

I can generate a list of odd numbers any size I want using the command seq. And it can even give me a separator different from a new line...

...Then I get the output of the seq command directlly to the next command using a pipe `|`. The magic creation of the same guys who created the C language. The bc command finishes the job nicelly.

I could have used command substitution to make things seem more complicated but the kiss principle does not allows me do that.

## The lesson

Not always, but most of the time you do not need to write complicated shell scripts when you know most of gnu programs. There are many one-linners articles out there to prove my point. I will put some of them here later.

Lifeguard to Cybersecurity Guru: Embracing the Unexpected in Tech
Tags: cybersecurity, career, security, job
Published: 2023-12-31 08:58:51

**Introduction:**
Hey dev.to folks! Stumbled upon something that's a real eye-opener – a talk by Matt, a 'Chaos Specialist' at Google. His leap from lifeguard/firefighter to cybersecurity is the kind of story that makes you rethink career paths. It's not your typical tech journey, and that's what makes it awesome. Check it out: [Matt's Talk on Dealing with Attacks](https://www.coursera.org/learn/networks-and-network-security/lecture/4i5Vt/matt-a-professional-on-dealing-with-attacks)

**The Unconventional Path:**
Matt's story kicks off in a place you wouldn't expect to find the next tech whiz – the beach, as a lifeguard, then as a firefighter. But here’s the twist – his love for helping people in dire straits didn't just vanish when he switched to tech. Instead, it found a new home in Google’s DFIR team.

**Chaos in Tech – A Good Thing?**
At Google, Matt's all about tackling chaos head-on. Think of it as firefighting, but in the digital world. It's about being ready before things go south and being the calm in the tech storm when they do. It's a skill set that's gold in our field, and Matt's living proof.

**Why Cybersecurity Welcomes All:**
Matt's got this belief – if you're even slightly drawn to cybersecurity, there's a spot for you. It's a field that thrives on diverse mindsets. Got curiosity? A knack for problem-solving? You're in. It's about building a safer digital space, and that needs all hands on deck.

**What I Dig from Matt's Journey:**
- **Diversity is Power**: Matt's switch from life-saving to cybersecurity is a reminder that our field gets richer with different backgrounds.
- **Incident Response = Digital Lifeguarding**: The principles of command, control, and communication in crisis – it's like lifeguarding, but for data.
- **Cybersecurity = Helping at Scale**: It's not just about code and firewalls; it's about protecting people, communities, businesses.

**Wrapping Up:**
Matt's story isn't your everyday tech tale, and that's what's brilliant about it. It shows us that there's no single 'right' way into tech or cybersecurity. It's about using what you know, learning as you go, and making a difference. And hey, if a lifeguard can turn into a tech hero, why can't you?

Маркетплейс Ace Place: возможности и секреты работы
Published: 2023-12-31 07:05:02

В цикле статей рассказывается о достоинствах, преимуществах маркетплейса Ace Place, а также советах и секретах эффективных продаж через него - что нужно знать заранее перед началом продаж сезонных товаров, как работать с отзывами, о продажах товаров с собственного склада... В этой статье о том, как маркетплейс Ace Place помогает продавать больше товаров с собственного склада.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/v7z8lkuzbzrycl9tsns7.jpg)

Если вы хотите быстро начать продажи товара на площадке с мягкими правилами и встроенными инструментами продаж - Ace Place может предложить даже больше.

Привычные инструменты маркетплейса

Вся работа Ace Place выстроена по системе базового маркетплейса: каталог товаров, оформление заказа, оплата, связь с покупателем, карточки.

Также продавцы пользуются дополнительными способами продвижения и продвинутой статистикой для отслеживания показателей.

Если вы уже работали с маркетплейсами - долго изучать не придется, а если нет - обучение пройдет в самые сжатые сроки.

Мягкие правила, отсутствие штрафов

В отличие от всех маркетплейсов, на Ace Place вы не столкнетесь с жесткими условиями договора. Проблемы возникнут только в случае грубых нарушений и регулярных жалоб со стороны покупателей. Но и в таком случае карточки товара будут просто заблокированы.

Встроенные элементы социальной сети

Это новый инструмент продвижения, позволяющий вести блог прямо на площадке. Если у вас уже есть социальные сети - контент можно дублировать и на Ace Place - он будет стимулировать интерес, поможет найти постоянных клиентов и увеличит продажи.

Кому подходит Ace Place: любому бизнесу и самозанятым

Быстрая регистрация, заполнение профиля и старт продаж. Если товар массовый - оформляйте доставку со склада с помощью служб доставки. А если вы занимаетесь ручным трудом - договаривайтесь о продажах лично.

Ace Place не заставляет мастеров конкурировать с бизнесами, а дает им возможность вести продажи параллельно. Тем более для них идеально подходят инструменты личного блога, выгодно выделяющие авторский продукт.
