Python program to define an empty function using pass statement

Consider the given code,

# python code to demonstrate example of 
# pass statement

# an empty function definition without any statement
def myfunc():
    
# main code 
print("calling function...")
myfunc()
print("End of the program")

Output

  File "/home/main.py", line 8
    print("calling function...")
        ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

See the output – there is no statement in the definition part of the function myfunc(), so python compiler considers the next statement (which is a “print” statement in this program) as a statement of the function definition. Thus, an error "IndentationError: expected an indented block" occurs.
