Full Transcript

it isn't a secret we can have a function within the function for instance let's define a function called wage that calculates your daily wage say you use working hours as a parameter and you are paid 25 dollars per hour so this should work okay good notice i don't technically need the print command here i could print out the wage afterwards but i don't really need to so i'll proceed this way just returning the value i need when you do well in a day your boss will be very happy to give a bonus of fifty dollars added to your salary hence i'll define a with bonus function for you and as a parameter i will take again the working hours but this time i will allow myself to return directly the wage with working hours as an output which would be the value obtained after the wage function has been run plus the extra fifty dollars you've earned this is how the first function is involved in the output of the second one a function within the function let's see what the output will be if you worked 8 hours today and the boss was very happy with your performance wage with an argument eight and with bonus with an argument of eight great 200 of base compensation and 250 with the bonus

This tutorial teaches how to use a function within another function in Python, using the example of calculating daily wage with and without a bonus. It demonstrates how to define and call functions, and how to use the output of one function as an input for another. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to write your own nested functions in Python.

Key Takeaways
  1. Define a function to calculate daily wage
  2. Define another function to calculate wage with bonus
  3. Use the output of the first function as an input for the second function
  4. Call the second function with a specific argument
  5. Print the output of the second function
💡 You can use the output of one function as an input for another function in Python, allowing for more complex and dynamic calculations.
