Just want to know that if I’m going to create a new wordpress theme, what about functions.php, should I need to create a new functions file, or just copy it from other wordpress theme. I have read codex but it only tells about the templates needed to create a new theme.

You don’t need a new functions.php file if you don’t want custom functions in your theme.

See this thread for more information – not including functions.php doesn’t make any difference for your custom theme.

• The theme functions file is a template used by Word-press themes. It acts like a plug-in and gets automatically loaded in both admin and front-end pages of a Word-press site.
• The functions.php file can be found in your theme’s folder.
  You don’t need to create a new functions.php file when you want to put your own function in function.php just paste that code in your themes functions.php file.
