Can someone tell me what actually modules are,how do you use and make them ?

Question

How do modules work .

Answer 1

As I can see your first half of the question is solved...
.
Now how to make your own modules?
.
Make a file named somemodule.py
---------------
# this is somemodule.py

def greet(name):
print "Hello "+name+"!!"

---------------

Another file called whatever.py
---------------
#this is where you want to import the #previously created module

import somemodule
name=input('Enter your name : ")
greet(name)

--------------

Answer 2

Ivan..
Check my previous comment...
In *whatever.py* section
It shows how to import..
.
What are modules?
- A package or bundle of functions and defined variables by a programmer, such that we don't have to write it all again.. Instead a simple import and call would do the job..
.
Now, why to import modules?
-Answer is simple.. To use functions and variables from those modules/bundles...

Answer 3

Modules - the result of the work of other programmers that you can use in your code. For example, to do heavy mathematical calculations, you will need to connect the math module.

Still don't get it

Answer 8

You know C ?
We import/include "math.h" for functions like sqrt,sin,cos,tan,log,etc and some constants like PI,e,etc
- stdio.h for printf, scanf, etc
.
Similarly here we use import module

Answer 9

I don't know C

Answer 10

Ok..
.
Suppose u need to sort an array..
And u dont know any sorting program logic..
So I'll make a module/bundle having that function within..And pass a copy to u..
.
So u'll need to use "import mybundle.py"
Then, u'll be able to use sorting function within mybundle and complete your task..
