### Step 4: define the **path operation function**

This is our "**path operation function**":

* **path**: is `/`.
* **operation**: is `get`.
* **function**: is the function below the "decorator" (below `@app.get("/")`).

```Python hl_lines="7"
{!../../../docs_src/first_steps/tutorial001.py!}
```

This is a Python function.

    "I",  # isort
    "B",  # flake8-bugbear
    "C4",  # flake8-comprehensions
    "UP",  # pyupgrade
]
ignore = [
    "E501",  # line too long, handled by black
    "B008",  # do not perform function calls in argument defaults
    "C901",  # too complex
    "W191",  # indentation contains tabs
]

[tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores]
"__init__.py" = ["F401"]
"docs_src/dependencies/tutorial007.py" = ["F821"]

## 0.10.2

        execute ->> code: return the result
    end

    rect rgba(0, 255, 255, .1)
        code ->> function: say_hi(name="Camila")
        function ->> code: return stored result
    end

    rect rgba(0, 255, 0, .1)
        code ->> function: say_hi(name="Rick")
        function ->> execute: execute function code
        execute ->> code: return the result
    end

```

There are 2 main differences from a normal *path operation*:

* It doesn't need to have any actual code, because your app will never call this code. It's only used to document the *external API*. So, the function could just have `pass`.

You write standard Python with types:

```Python
from datetime import date

from pydantic import BaseModel

# Declare a variable as a str
# and get editor support inside the function
def main(user_id: str):
    return user_id


# A Pydantic model
class User(BaseModel):
    id: int
    name: str
    joined: date
```

That can then be used like:

```Python

### Recap

In summary, you declare **once** the types of parameters, body, etc. as function parameters.

You do that with standard modern Python types.

You don't have to learn a new syntax, the methods or classes of a specific library, etc.

Just standard **Python**.

For example, for an `int`:

    * Verifica que tem um atributo obrigatório `price` que deve ser `float`.
    * Verifica que tem an atributo opcional `is_offer`, que deve ser `bool`, se presente.
    * Tudo isso também funciona para objetos JSON profundamente aninhados.
* Converter de e para JSON automaticamente.
* Documentar tudo com OpenAPI, que poderá ser usado por:
    * Sistemas de documentação interativos.

### En résumé

En résumé, vous déclarez **une fois** les types de paramètres, <abbr title="en anglais : body">le corps</abbr>  de la requête, etc. en tant que paramètres de fonction.

Vous faites cela avec les types Python standard modernes.

Vous n'avez pas à apprendre une nouvelle syntaxe, les méthodes ou les classes d'une bibliothèque spécifique, etc.

Juste du **Python** standard.
