A function is a group of statements that are present in a program in order to perform specific tasks.
Hence, the correct answer is option “C”.
Explanation of Solution
Function:
- A function is a group of statements that are present in a program in order to perform specific tasks.
- A function is used to reduce complexity of a program. Instead of writing a large complex program, it can be divided into small chunks, each one performing a particular part of the task.
- The approach of dividing a program into smaller chunks is called as “divide and conquer” because a large program is divided into smaller tasks that can be easily performed.
- A function is also called as module.
- A single program contains more than one function.
Syntax:
In Python, a function is written as follows:
#Function name
def function_Name(parameters):
#statements
Explanation for incorrect options:
A block is a piece of program which is executed as a unit in a function.
Hence, option “A” is wrong.
A parameter is a part of the program where the information is sent from one function to other function.
Hence, option “B” is wrong.
An expression contains operators, operands, and values in a combined form and they are evaluated.
Hence, option “D” is wrong.
