bookFunctions 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()
copy

Task

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.
