Write a function that outputs **your name** just as the example function outputs **my name**.


# Define the function `say_my_name`
def say_my_name():
    # The function prints the string `My name is Heisenberg`
    print('My name is Heisenberg')

# Call the function `say_my_name`
say_my_name()

The `say_my_name` function **prints** the phrase `'My name is Heisenberg'` to the screen. You can **call this function** to display the output.

Gain a solid understanding of how functions shape Python programming. Master defining and calling functions, working with arguments, handling return values, and creating flexible, efficient code using recursion and lambda expressions.

Explore what functions are and why they're essential in Python. Learn how to create functions, define arguments, handle return values, and use built-in functions effectively.

Learn how positional and optional arguments work in Python. Build adaptable functions that handle different inputs and improve flexibility in your code.

Understand how to work with arbitrary and keyword arguments to handle variable input sizes. Learn how these techniques make your functions more dynamic and organized.

Discover how return values represent a function's output. Learn to return single or multiple values, use None, and explore generators for more advanced data flow control.

Unlock advanced function concepts with recursion and lambda functions. Learn how recursion solves repetitive problems and how lambda expressions create concise, one-line functions.
