Lesson 5: Functions – Breaking Down the Chaos (And Avoiding Code Repetition!)

Welcome back, brave coder! 👋

So far, you’ve tackled variables, loops, and control structures like a boss. But now it’s time to add some real magic to your coding toolkit: functions! Because, let’s face it, no one likes repeating themselves — not even your code. Imagine if every time you wanted to boil water, you had to explain the entire process: turn on the stove, grab a kettle, fill it, wait, and so on. Exhausting, right? That’s where functions come in handy — they let you wrap repetitive actions into a neat little package, so you can call on them whenever you need without all the fuss.
