Since functions can be passed into functions, that also means that functions can accept another function as an argument. Thefilterfunction assumes its first argument is a function. You can think of thefilterfunction as pretty much the same as this function: deffilter(predicate,iterable):return(it...
Our next example illustrates passing a function to the sorted() function. When we call the latter with a single argument (the list to be sorted), it uses the built-in comparison function cmp(). However, we can supply our own sort function, e.g. to sort by decreasing length. >>> sor...
my_function("Sweden") my_function("India") my_function() my_function("Brazil") Try it Yourself » Passing a List as an Argument You can send any data types of argument to a function (string, number, list, dictionary etc.), and it will be treated as the same data type inside the...

Requiring an argument If you're piloting a rocket ship, a function without required inputs is like a computer with a button to tell you the time. If you press the button, a computerized voice tells you the time. But a required input can be a destination to calculate travel distance. Req...
The object() function doesn’t take an argument and returns a new featureless object, which has the methods that are common to all Python objects. Unlike regular objects, the object that you get from calling object() doesn’t have a .__dict__ attribute, so you can’t add attributes dyn...
Custom decorators are written by defining a function that takes another function as an argument, defines a nested wrapper function, and returns the wrapper. Multiple decorators can be applied to a single function by stacking them, one per line, before the function definition. The order of decorat...
Let’s expand on the notion of argument passing in Python. Earlier, we noted that arguments are passed by assignment ; this has a few ramifications that aren’t always obvious to beginners: Arguments are passed by assigning objects to local names Function arguments should be familiar territory ...
这可能是最简单的例子:当late被传递给if语句时,late充当条件表达式,在布尔上下文中进行评估(就像我们调用bool(late)一样)。如果评估的结果是True,那么我们就进入if语句后面的代码体。请注意,print指令是缩进的:这意味着它属于由if子句定义的作用域。执行这段代码会产生: ...
Python has a number of built-in functions defined as part of the core environment, such as the print function I’ve already discussed. In addition to some core math functions (abs, divmod, max, min, round and pow); some type-conversion functions that transform a variable from one typ...
