4. python functions
Functions in Python are defined using the 'def' keyword followed by the function name and arguments. Functions return values using the 'return' statement and do not declare argument or return types. Python allows functions to be passed as arguments to other functions or used anonymously without naming. Python is popular for scientific programming due to its easy syntax, built-in data types, ability to run on many systems, large library of scientific packages, large user community, and use in universities.
