When I call the mainfile, the below mention validate functions do not execute as expected. What changes shall I make with the mainfile so that the validate methods execute themselves?
x = input('enter a number')
def mainfile(data):
def validate(self,data):
if int(data) > 3:
print( 'greater than 3')
def validate1(self, data):
if int(data) > 2:
print( 'greater than 2')
mainfile(x);
Firstly those methods don't belong to a class, so the self keyword is not needed here and must be removed to avoid a Type error due to missing positional arguments.
Secondly, you don't call the nested functions validate and validate1, so hence they are never executed. You must directly call them from the mainfile function. E.g. validate(data) validate1(data)
You are only defining validate, you arne't calling it:
def mainfile(data):
def validate(self,data):
if int(data) > 3:
print( 'greater than 3')
def validate1(self, data):
if int(data) > 2:
print( 'greater than 2')
# You could, e.g., call them here:
validate(data)
validate1(data)
You have defined the functions validate and validate1, but they are not called if you only use the function mainfile. Also, you only need the keyword 'self' in the context of classes, so you can just leave it out here.
