Chapter Chapter 2 in Algorithms with JULIA, 2022, pp 17-37 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Functions are one of the most important abstractions in mathematics, and they are one of the most important concepts in programming languages as well. Functions are the main building blocks of programs. In this chapter, we learn how functions are defined in Julia and we discuss generic functions and methods. More details are presented as well, including argument passing behavior, multiple return values, functions as first-class objects, anonymous functions, optional and keyword arguments, variable numbers of arguments, and the scopes of variables. Interactions with data types are discussed throughout the chapter to illustrate the interplay between functions, domains, and codomains.
