A function is a named sequence of statement(s) that performs a computation. Function can be categorized as belongings to:

Function in modules
- A module is a file containing Python definitions (i.e. functions) and statements.
- Definitions from the module can be used within the code of a program.
- To use these modules in the program, a programmer needs to import the module. Once you import a module, you can reference (use), any of its functions or variables in your code.
Ways to import modules in program:
- import
- from
import
It is simplest and most common way to use modules in our code.
Its syntax is:
import modulename1 [,modulename2, ---------]
Example:
>>> import math
On execution of this statement, Python will:
- search for the file „math.py‟.
- Create space where modules definition & variable will be created,
- then execute the statements in the module.
Now the definitions of the module will become part of the code in which the module was imported.
