\section{Functions}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Functions}
\begin{itemize}
\item \kwrd{def} - keyword to define a function
\item Arguments are local to a function
\item Docstrings are important!
\item Functions can return multiple values
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Functions: example}
\begin{lstlisting}
def signum( r ):
"""returns 0 if r is zero
-1 if r is negative
+1 if r is positive"""
if r < 0:
return -1
elif r > 0:
return 1
else:
return 0
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
{What does this function do?}
\begin{lstlisting}
def what( n ):
i = 1
while i * i < n:
i += 1
return i * i == n, i
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Default arguments}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Functions: default arguments}
\small
\begin{lstlisting}
def ask_ok(prompt, complaint='Yes or no!'):
while True:
ok = raw_input(prompt)
if ok in ('y', 'ye', 'yes'):
return True
if ok in ('n', 'no', 'nop',
'nope'):
return False
print complaint
ask_ok('?')
ask_ok('?', '[Y/N]')
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Built-in functions}
\begin{frame}
{Before writing a function}
\begin{itemize}
\item Variety of builtin functions are available
\item \typ{abs, any, all, len, max, min}
\item \typ{pow, range, sum, type}
\item Refer here:
\url{http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html}
\end{itemize}
\inctime{10}
\end{frame}
\subsection{Exercises}
\begin{frame}{Problem set 3: Problem 3.1}
Write a function to return the gcd of two numbers.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Problem 3.2}
Write a program to print all primitive pythagorean triads (a, b, c) where a, b are in the range 1---100 \\
A pythagorean triad $(a,b,c)$ has the property $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.\\By primitive we mean triads that do not `depend' on others. For example, (4,3,5) is a variant of (3,4,5) and hence is not primitive. And (10,24,26) is easily derived from (5,12,13) and is also not primitive.
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Problem 3.3}
Write a program that generates a list of all four digit numbers that have all their digits even and are perfect squares.\newline\\\emph{For example, the output should include 6400 but not 8100 (one digit is odd) or 4248 (not a perfect square).}

\section{Modules}
\begin{frame}[fragile]

\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}[fragile]
{Modules}
\begin{itemize}
\item The \kwrd{import} keyword ``loads'' a module

>>> from math import *
\end{lstlisting}
\item What is the difference?
\item \alert{Use the latter only in interactive mode}
\end{itemize}
