how would this work? Lets say I have a function called getInput that gets three numbers based on user input
def getInput(): num1 = int(input("please enter a int")) num2 = int(input("please enter a int")) num3 = int(input("please enter a int")) how would I use this function in another function to do checks regarding the input? For example
def calculation(): getInput() if num1 > (num2 * num3): print('Correct') thanks!
You need to return the variables (num1, num2, num3) from the getInput function.
Like this:
def getInput(): num1 = int(input("please enter a int")) num2 = int(input("please enter a int")) num3 = int(input("please enter a int")) return num1, num2, num3 then you can do:
def calculation(): num1, num2, num3 = getInput() if num1 > (num2 * num3): print('Correct') 
Use an array for scalability. You may one day need to return 1000 values. Get the three numbers, place them in an array and return them as follows:
num_list = []; i = 3; temp = 0; while i > 0: temp = int(input("please enter a int")); num_list.append(temp); temp=0; i--; return num_list; Now get the returned data and use it as follows:
def calculation(): getInput(); if num_list[1] > (num_list[2] * num_list[3]): print('Correct')
