How do I structure a function in Python?

In Python, a function is defined using the 'def' keyword followed by the function name and parentheses. You can include parameters inside the parentheses.

Can you give me an example of a simple function?

Sure! Here's a simple function that adds two numbers:

def add_numbers(a, b):
    return a + b

What if I want to add default parameters?

You can set default values for parameters like this:

def add_numbers(a, b=5):
    return a + b

This way, if you call add_numbers(3), it will return 8.

How do I return multiple values from a function?

You can return multiple values as a tuple. For example:

def get_coordinates():
    return (10, 20)

You can then unpack the values when calling the function.
