Resolved: define a function in the other function

Question

Here we call one function while defining another function can we define one function in other function?

Answer 1

Hi Meenakshi!

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, in Python, you can define one function inside another function. This concept is known as nested functions or inner functions.

For instance, in this case that could be:
def m_by_3(x):
def plus_five(y):
return y + 5
return plus_five(x) * 3

m_by_3(5)

Hope this helps.

Best,

Ivan
