Machine Learning: Random Forest with Python from Scratch - Simple Functions

The video tutorial introduces functions as blocks of code that execute when called, with the ability to accept parameters. It covers the single responsibility principle and categorizes functions into simple, boolean, and value-returning types. The tutorial demonstrates simple and parameterized functions using code examples, including how to implement them in Jupyter. It also shows how to use loops with parameterized functions to iterate over a list of names. The video concludes with a brief introduction to boolean and value-returning functions.

What is the primary purpose of a function in programming?

• To manage memory

• To display user interface

• To store data

• To execute a block of code when called

Which principle is important for the effective functioning of functions?

• Open/Closed Principle

• Single Responsibility Principle

• Interface Segregation Principle

• Liskov Substitution Principle

What is a simple function?

• A function that takes multiple parameters

• A function that performs a specific operation

• A function that returns a boolean value

• A function that returns a value

How do you call a function without parameters?

• By writing the function name followed by a colon

• By writing the function name followed by a semicolon

• By writing the function name followed by empty parentheses

• By writing the function name followed by a comma

What is the output of the function 'print_name' when called with the argument 'Jack'?

• Jack is here

• Welcome, Jack

• My name is Jack

• Hello, Jack

What is the purpose of a for loop in the context of functions?

• To define a new function

• To iterate over a list of items

• To return a value from a function

• To print a message to the console

What will be discussed after simple and parameterized functions?

• Boolean functions and value returning functions

• Graphical user interfaces

• Error handling in functions

• Advanced data structures
