What Does Function Mean?
A function is a unit of code that is often defined by its role within a greater code structure. Specifically, a function contains a unit of code that works on various inputs, many of which are variables, and produces concrete results involving changes to variable values or actual operations based on the inputs.

Within a greater code structure, a function, which also may be called a subroutine or procedure, is “called” by the code, depending on a user event or as part of a greater operation. When called, the function operates on the inputs and produces the results.
