# Functions

Functions let you organize code into reusable blocks. Create custom functions with parameters and return values to break down complex logic into manageable, reusable components.

## function definition

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Qu6uINOHm8vu7xITFBEJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Defines a new function that can be called from anywhere in your script. Click the gear icon to add parameters and configure the return value.

**Configuration:**

* **Function Name**: A unique identifier for your function
* **Parameters** (Optional): Input values the function accepts
* **Return** (Optional): Enable to make the function return a value

**Example uses**: Calculating averages, converting units, validating sensor ranges, or any logic you use multiple times.

## function call

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/SXmM8bGauUjvWhtpjs4p" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Executes a previously defined function. Provide values for any parameters the function expects.

**Parameters:**

* **Function**: Select which function to call
* **Arguments**: Values matching the function's parameter list

**Returns:**

* **Any**: The function's return value if configured, otherwise performs actions without returning a value
