passing an array of values or a matrix to a user defined function, also expected the array or the matrix as output...How can we do this?

Sage is built on Python, which is not strongly typed. So, you can easily pass a variety of objects in and out of functions. For example:

def example(a,b):
    c = a*b
    return(c)

If you pass matrices into this function, it will pass a matrix out.

a=matrix(2,2,[1,2,3,4])
b=matrix(2,2,[5,6,7,8])
example(a,b)

gives the result
