I've loaded a couple of functions (f and g) from another script in my jupyter notebook. if I pass the parameters, I am able to get the proper output. My question is, is it possible for me to see the whole definition of the function (f or g)?

I tried to see the function but it shows the memory location that was assigned to it.

You need to comment your function inside (check docstring, https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0257/) like

def func(a,b):
    """
        Wonderful
    """
    return a+b

Then in your jupyter notebook you can use Shift + Tab on your function.

I can not comment, but this comes from another thread How can I see function arguments in IPython Notebook Server 3?

You can do this with the built in inspect library.

The below snippet should get you acquainted with how to see the source code of a function.

def hello_world():
   print("hello_world")

import inspect
source = inspect.getsource(hello_world)
print(source)
