The steps to define a function in PyCharm are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open PyCharm and create a new Python file or open an existing Python file.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose a location in the document, then enter the function definition.<\/li>\n
  3. For example, you can input the following code to define a basic function:<\/li>\n
  4. A function named greet is defined that prints “Hello, world!” when called.<\/li>\n
  5. After defining a function, you can write the implementation code for the function. In the example above, you can add the code to be executed inside the function body.<\/li>\n
  6. Invoke the function greet(), which prints out “Hello, world!”<\/li>\n
  7. To call a function, simply follow the function name with a pair of parentheses. In the example above, you can call the greet() function by using greet().<\/li>\n
  8. call the greet() function<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
