## Function
149+
Function is a block of code which runs when it is called.
150+
Functions are declared using the `def` keyword. Function name must be a valid identifier.
151+
Function arguments can be literal values, variables (valid identifiers), and expressions.
152+
```python
153+
def sum(a, b) :
154+
return a + b
155+
156+
def subtract(a, b) :
157+
return a - b
158+
159+
def getPerson(name, age) :
160+
person = { "name": name, "age": age }
161+
return person
162+
```
163+
164+
#### Function Call
165+
Functions can be called by passing the arguments according to the declaration.
166+
```python
167+
a = 20
168+
b = 50
169+
c = sum(a, b)
170+
d = sum(b, 50)
171+
e = subtract(b, a)
172+
p = getPerson("Joe", 25)
173+
174+
# OUTPUT:
175+
print( "Sum - {} plus {}: {}" . format( a, b, c ) ) # Sum - 20 plus 50: 70
176+
print( "Sum - {} plus 50: {}" . format( b, d ) ) # Sum - 50 plus 50: 100
177+
print( "Subtraction - {} minus {}: {}" . format( b, a, e ) ) # Subtraction - 50 minus 20: 30
178+
print( "Person - {}" . format( p ) ) # Person - {'name': 'Joe', 'age': 75}

```

### Tuple
223+
A tuple is a collection which is ordered, indexed and unchangeable. In Python tuples are written with round brackets.
224+
```python
225+
this_tuple = ('books', 'pen', 'paper') # Defined a tuple
190226

227+
# Accessing Tuple Items
228+
print(this_tuple[2]) # paper
229+
```
230+
231+
#### Changing Tuple Values
232+
Tuples are immutable, which means they cant to changed once they are created.
233+
If a value inside tuple needs to be changed, the tuple must be converted to a list.
234+
Newly created list can be converted back to tuple after updating changes.
235+
```python
236+
desk_tuple = ("pen stand", "plant", "marker")
237+
desk_list = list(desk_tuple)
238+
desk_list[2] = "highlighter"
239+
desk_tuple = tuple(desk_list)
240+
241+
print(desk_tuple[2]) # highlighter
242+
```
243+
244+
#### Creating tuple with one item
245+
To create a tuple with only one item, you have to add a comma after the item, otherwise Python will not recognize it as a tuple.
246+
```python
247+
this_tuple = ("Python",)
248+
print(type(this_tuple)) # tuple
249+
250+
# NOT a tuple
251+
this_tuple = ("Python")
252+
print(type(this_tuple)) # str
253+
```
254+
255+
#### Deleting a tuple
256+
Tuples are unchangeable, so you cannot remove items from it, but you can delete the tuple completely:
257+
```python
258+
this_tuple = ('books', 'pen', 'paper')
259+
del this_tuple
260+
print(this_tuple) # ERROR: this_tuple is not defined

## Errors and Exceptions
288+
Program stops working on error Python raises exceptions when it encounter error.
289+
To avoid this, `try-catch` blocks are used.
290+
291+
# Exceptions
292+
No syntax errors found, program starts execution.
293+
Errors detected during execution are called exceptions.
294+
Use try: except: finally: to catch and handle the exceptions.
295+
Use try: except: finally: to avoid program termination on exceptions.
296+
Use try: except: else: instead of try: except: finally: for alternate flows.
297+
Multiple except can be use to catch the exceptions.
298+
299+
```python
300+
a = 10 * (1/0)
301+
302+
# Throws division by zero exception and terminate the program
303+
# Traceback (most recent call last):
304+
File "", line 1, in
305+
a = 10 * (1/0)
306+

307+
308+

309+
b = 10
310+
try:
311+
a = 10 * (1/b)
312+
print( "a = {}" .format( a ) )

except:
314+
print( "Caught divide by zero - while getting a" )
315+
print( "Execute on error - b must be non-zero value" )
316+
finally:
317+
print( "Execute Always - normal and exceptional flow" )
318+
319+
# OUTPUT
320+
a = 1.0
321+

330+
print( "Execute on error - b must be non-zero value" )
331+

332+
print( "Alternate to exceptional flow" )

# Output
