Day 10 of 100 Days of Python Code: Functions with Outputs and Building a Calculator App 🧮📱
Welcome to Day 1️⃣0️⃣ of the 100 Days of Code Challenge. Today, we focused on learning about functions with outputs and applied our knowledge by building a Calculator App. Here’s a recap of everything we covered and accomplished:
Goals for the Day: 🎯
- Master functions with outputs. 💡
- Develop a functional Calculator App.📱
Key Concepts Covered: 🔑
Functions with Outputs: 🔄
We have previously learned about basic functions and functions with inputs. Today, we took it a step further and explored functions with outputs. Functions with outputs allow us to return data from a function, making our code more modular and reusable.
Multiple Return Values: 🔁
We then learned how to return multiple values from a function. This is particularly useful when we need to get more than one piece of information from a function.
Docstrings: 🧵
We learned about docstrings, which are a way to create documentation for our code. Docstrings are helpful for explaining what a function does and how to use it.
Calculator Part 1 — Combining Dictionaries and Functions: 📱
In this part, we started building our Calculator App by combining dictionaries and functions. This allowed us to store operations and their corresponding functions in a dictionary for easy access.
Print vs Return: 🖨️
We explored the differences between `print` and `return` statements. Understanding these differences is crucial for writing functions that can be reused and tested effectively.
While Loops, Flags, and Recursion: 🔄
We delved into while loops, flags, and recursion, which are powerful tools for controlling the flow of our programs and handling repeated tasks.
Interactive Coding Exercise — Days in Month: 📅
In this exercise, we created a program to determine the number of days in a given month, reinforcing our understanding of functions with outputs.

Final Project: Calculator Finishing Touches and Bug Fixes
Finally, we added finishing touches and fixed bugs in our Calculator App, ensuring it runs smoothly and handles various edge cases.

Lessons Learned: 📚
- Functions with Outputs: Learned how to create functions that return values, making our code more modular and reusable. 🔄
- Multiple Return Values: Understood how to return multiple values from a function, which is useful for getting more information from a single function call. 🔁
- Docstrings: Gained knowledge on using docstrings to document our code, making it easier to understand and maintain. 📝
- Print vs Return: Explored the differences between `print` and `return` statements, crucial for writing reusable and testable functions. 🖨️
- While Loops and Recursion: Mastered controlling program flow using while loops and recursion, essential for handling repeated tasks and complex logic. 🔄
Summary: ✅
Day 10 was a deep dive into functions with outputs and building a functional Calculator App. We started by understanding how to return values from functions, progressed through interactive exercises, and finally developed a Calculator App that incorporates dictionaries, functions, while loops, and recursion. This comprehensive approach reinforced our learning and provided a practical application for the concepts covered.
