How to call a function with a different class as parameter-CodePudding

So, this is probably a really simple question but I just cant figure it out:

I have 1 function that, when called, uses the variables from a class to return either a True or False:

def adjacente(dist):
     return(
          abs(totalmov.xi - totalmov.xf) == dist and abs(totalmov.yi - totalmov.yf) <= dist or
          abs(totalmov.yi - totalmov.yf) == dist and abs(totalmov.xi - totalmov.xf) <= dist)

But the thing is, I want to be able to execute this function without having it hardcoded to the class "totalmov", for instance, I want to be able to execute the same very function with the class "movimento" and the only way I have thought so far was to create the same very function but with a different name:

def adjacente_2(dist):
    return(
        abs(movimento.xi - movimento.xf) == dist and abs(movimento.yi - movimento.yf) <= dist or
        abs(movimento.yi - movimento.yf) == dist and abs(movimento.xi - movimento.xf) <= dist)

There 100% must be a way to do the same thing but without repeating functions, can someone tell me how? Thank you

CodePudding user response：

All you have to do is add another parameter to your function definition (called something sensible; here, I've called it movement), and then use that in place of the class names inside your function body:

def adjacente(dist, movement):
     return(
          abs(movement.xi - movement.xf) == dist and abs(movement.yi - movement.yf) <= dist or
          abs(movement.yi - movement.yf) == dist and abs(movement.xi - movement.xf) <= dist)

So long as whatever you pass as a function argument has attributes of appropriate types called xi, yi, xf, and yf, this will work.
