Set theory, functions and inverses

I'm doing an intro course on set theory and have the question if the inverses of the surjective functions in the sets A={a,b} and B={c,d,e} are also functions.



So far, I thought that the inverse of a function f(x) for example, is f1(y), meaning that every function also has an inverse (which is also a function).

Given that this would make the question rather redundant, I'm not quite sure in my assumption anymore, so I would be glad if someone could verify or falsify (and explain it properly) it.
