How to set a value to function in python-CodePudding

I new at python programming and I am on a project about math, and in a moment I have faced a problem I need to do some operations about two values inside the function and according to their sizes or etc. there will be a output of this function. This is what i'm trying to do:

def my_func(x,y):
  if x > y:
    my_func() = x**y   y**x
  else:
   my_func() = y*x

and i will use this in an if statement.

if my_func(x,y) and my_func(x,z) == True:

  #do something

i know it will not work cuz this is not the way the functions work. But if there is a way to do this i would be pleased to know. If this question looks a little bit weird, sorry i don't know very much about python programming but i'm trying to improve myself.

CodePudding user response：

is this what you want to do ??

def my_func(x,y):
   if x > y:
       return x**y   y**x
   else:
       return  y*x

result = my_func(4,5)

CodePudding user response：

You have to return the ouput from the function when you have performed the necessary actions according to your inputs parameters. You can do it like below.

 def my_func(x, y):
    if x > y:
        output = x ** y   y ** x
    else:
        output = y * x
    return output


print(my_func(2, 3))
print(my_func(3, 2))
