A function is a block of code that can be accessed repeatedly whenever you want to perform a certain task. As in mathematics, functions can be passed input and can return output, though they do not need to do either of those things in order to be useful. | A function is a block of code that can be accessed repeatedly whenever you want to perform a certain task.
