Functions within Functions
Inside the function, we can not only write loops, declare variables, use if-else statements but also call other functions. Let's look at an example.
def function_1(): # Outer function
print('I am an outer function')
def function_2(): # Inner function
print('I am an inner function ')
function_2()
function_1()
def function_1(): # Outer function print('I am an outer function') def function_2(): # Inner function print('I am an inner function ') function_2() function_1()
Task
Swipe to start coding
You have to implement two functions:
- outer_function - this is an outer function that displays text like this:
The perimeter of this square is equal to: - inner_function - this is an inner function, which calculates the perimeter of a square whose side is
7.
Solution
def outer_function():
print('The perimeter of this square is equal to:')
def inner_function(side_of_square):
perimeter = 4*side_of_square
print(perimeter)
inner_function(7)
outer_function()
Everything was clear?
Thanks for your feedback!
Section 5. Chapter 1
# Write your code below
def ___():
print('___')
def ___(side_of_square):
# Calculate the perimeter
___ = 4*side_of_square
print(___)
inner_function(___)
# Testing
outer_function()
