bookUsing Functions for Creative Workflows

Functions are essential tools in creative coding, acting as reusable building blocks that help you streamline and organize your automation scripts. When working on creative projects—such as generating visual patterns, automating file creation, or designing interactive experiences—functions let you group related actions together. This approach not only saves time but also reduces errors, making your code more manageable and adaptable for future changes.

def describe_shape(shape, size): return f"{shape} of size {size}" # Example usage: desc = describe_shape("circle", 10) print(desc) # Output: circle of size 10
copy

By defining a function like describe_shape, you can easily create consistent descriptions for different shapes without repeating code. Functions make your scripts clearer and easier to read, especially as your creative projects grow in complexity. Instead of copying and pasting similar code, you simply call the function whenever you need that specific task performed. This approach not only improves readability but also makes it simple to update your workflow—change the function once, and the improvement is reflected everywhere it is used.

shapes = ["circle", "square", "triangle"] sizes = [10, 20, 15] descriptions = [] for shape, size in zip(shapes, sizes): desc = describe_shape(shape, size) descriptions.append(desc) print(descriptions) # Output: ['circle of size 10', 'square of size 20', 'triangle of size 15']
