Transfer result of a function to another. Python-CodePudding

I have get_Time function working fine but I would like to take the result it produces and store it int the "t" variable inside the function simple_Interest function. Here is the code I have now.

y = input("Enter value for year: ")
m = input("Enter value for month: ")
p = input("Enter value for principle: ")
r = input("Enter value for rate (in %): ")

def get_Time(y, m, d):
   total_time = y   m / 12   d / 365
   return total_time
print ("The total time in years is: " , get_Time(int(y), int(m), int(d)))

def simple_Interest(t, p, r):
  simplint = p *(r / 100) * t
return simplint

sorry if I sound like a dummy.. im still very newbish to python and programming in general but im learning. thanks in advance for your help.

CodePudding user response：

since they are both functions you can one inside the other one like fallowing

def get_Time(y, m, d):
   total_time = y   m / 12   d / 365
   return total_time
print ("The total time in years is: " , get_Time(int(y), int(m), int(d)))

def simple_Interest(p, r):
  simplint = p *(r / 100) * get_Time(y, m ,d) #  maybe you can make the variables global or pass them to the simple_Insterst
return simplint

You can do it:

y = input("Enter value for year: ")
m = input("Enter value for month: ")
p = input("Enter value for principle: ")
r = input("Enter value for rate (in %): ")

def get_Time(y, m, d):
    total_time = y   m / 12   d / 365
    return total_time

t = get_Time(int(y), int(m), int(d))
print ("The total time in years is: " , t)

def simple_Interest(t, p, r):
    simplint = p *(r / 100) * t
    return simplint

Then you can call simple_Interest function.

simple_Interest(t, p, r)
