How to do something like this in python
def func1():
x = 2
y = 3
return x, y
def funcx():
print(func1().x)
def funcy():
print(func1().y)
So basically return multiple values from a single function then use each returned value in a different function
Python functions can return only one value, but it is easy for that value to contain others. In your example, func1 returns a single tuple, which in turn contains two values.
>>> def func1():
... x = 2
... y = 3
... return x, y
...
>>> func1()
(2, 3)
You can index or unpack this return value just like any other tuple:
>>> func1()[0]
2
>>> func1()[1]
3
>>> a, b = func1()
>>> a
2
You can use indexing also in your desired functions:
def funcx():
print(func1()[0])
def funcy():
print(func1()[1])
If you desire named fields, you can use a dict or namedtuple:
# dict
def func1():
return {'x': 2, 'y': 3}
def funcx():
print(func1()['x'])
# namedtuple
from collections import namedtuple
Point2D = namedtuple('Point2D', ['x', 'y'])
def func1():
return Point2D(x=2, y=3)
def funcx():
print(func1().x)
