Guys what is OOP in python

Python

They lead to an insight.

Define void functions add and subtract. Use them somewhere else.

Python

08 May 2026 09:57

If you have add and subtract void functions, you either do add or subtract, but can you do both? First one then the other?

Python

08 May 2026 09:35

Exactly where I wanted to get you to and exactly the reason why you should be trying things out.

Python

08 May 2026 05:45

Inside the function or outside the function?

Python

08 May 2026 05:34

I meant something like this:

add(add(2,3), 5)

Python

08 May 2026 05:32

That looks complicated. Now try it with returns

Python

08 May 2026 05:29

#Using a void fucntion with a variable
def add(x,y):
global addition
addition = x+y
print(addition)
add(3,3)

"""of course I meant using
the void functions"""
b,a = 2,2
addition += b+a
print(addition)

Python

08 May 2026 05:20

#Using a return value function:
def add(x,y):
return x+y
total= add(3,3)
print(f"Charly, this your total: {total}")

"""What if you want to do something
like add wto numbers then add an
other number to that result?"""
a,b = 2,2
total += a+b
print(total)

Now, to my beginner eyes, I get 6 each time.
So, I wonder what makes one different to the other in this case!

Python

08 May 2026 04:59

#Using a return value function:
def add(x,y):
return x+y
total= add(3,3)
print(f"Charly, this your total: {total}")

Python

The difference is not about how many times you call it but returning something or not

Python

08 May 2026 04:51

I tried it last night.
The week before. I have written the same code over and over.
But, one is a void function, the other is a returning value function. But If I use a variable with the void function, I am getting the same results. So, I wondered what makes one different to the other?

Python

Again, not to bo rude but incetivate you to be more proactive 👍

Python

08 May 2026 04:48

My understanding is now a little bit broader than what I have started with.
Once you use the return function, you can call the function wherever you want in the code, right?

Python

08 May 2026 11:08

Alright.
I will try to do so when I am back home👍

Python

08 May 2026 11:03

I am doing both inside the function or outside?

Could you give me a prompt that would require me to do both?(addition and subtraction)
I always aim to solve the problem regardless of the route that I am taking.
That's why I asked, do they both (void-function and value-returning functions) lead to the same outcome?.

Python

I was in a rush last night.
I had the exam this morning and I wanted to quickly understand.
I could write a void-function and a return valid function but I didn't know what actually made them different. Like are they interchangeable or not. So, I was limited on time to go deeper on it.
Otherwise, I would've taken my time with it.

Python

08 May 2026 05:52

I am finding it hard to do.
I will take it as a homework.
Thank you for working with me

Python

08 May 2026 05:35

res = add(2,3)
res1(res, 5)

if you find it hard to understand

Python

08 May 2026 05:32

I have.
With returns I don't need to use a global variable

Python

08 May 2026 05:31

So, I could use the variable outside the function

Python

08 May 2026 05:20

of course I meant using the functions

Python

08 May 2026 05:04

What if you want to do something like add wto numbers then add another number to that result?

Python

08 May 2026 05:02

#Using a void fucntion with a variable
def add(x,y):
addition = x+y
print(addition)
add(3,3)

Python

08 May 2026 04:53

Let me send you the code then.
I will write it now

Python

08 May 2026 04:52

Last night or theprevious week is irrelevant, Do it now

Python

08 May 2026 04:49

I did yes.
I normally would've done that but, I had a very little time

Python

08 May 2026 04:48

Why don't you try it? it will take less tha 5 minutes to write that code

Python

08 May 2026 04:46

I get it, just seemed like you avoided to do some research yourself and aski for more specific stuff. remember writting software will involve a lot of reading
