This script defines a simple Python function named wolf_dog that prints "woof" to the console. It is a basic example of how to define and call functions in Python.
This function demonstrates a basic concept in Python programming. Here’s what it does:
- Definition: The function
wolf_dogis defined using thedefkeyword. This tells Python that we are creating a function. - Function Body: Inside the function, the
print("woof")statement outputs the string "woof" to the console. - Calling the Function: After defining the function, we call it using
wolf_dog(). This triggers the function to execute its code and print "woof".
To use the wolf_dog function, follow these steps:
-
Copy the Code: Copy the following code into a Python file (e.g.,
main.py):def wolf_dog(): print("woof") # Call the function wolf_dog()
-
Run the Script: Execute the Python file. You can do this from the command line by navigating to the directory containing the file and running:
python main.py
-
Expected Output: The console should display:
woof
- Function Definition: The
defkeyword is used to start the definition of a function. The function namewolf_dogis followed by parentheses and a colon. - Function Body: The body of the function is indented and contains the
print("woof")statement, which is executed when the function is called. - Function Call: The
wolf_dog()line outside of the function definition calls the function, causing the string "woof" to be printed to the console.
This simple example illustrates how to create and use functions in Python. Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks and can be called multiple times throughout a program.
- Ensure you have Python installed on your system to run the script.
- This example is intended to demonstrate basic function usage and can be expanded with more complex functionality.
