Hi,
I'm looking for a way to supply a condition to an if-statement inside a
function body when calling the function. I can sort of get what I want
with using eval (see code below) but I would like to achieve this in a
safer way. If there is a solution which is safer while being
less flexible, that would be fine. Also, supplying the condition as a
string is not necessary. What I want to do is basically like this:
def test1(a, b, condition="True"):
for i,j in zip(a,b):
c=i+j
if eval(condition):
print("Foo")
test1([0,1,2,3],[1,2,3,4],"i+j >4")
print("Bar")
test1([0,1,2,3],[1,2,3,4],"c >4")
print("Bar")
test1([0,1,2,3],[1,2,3,4],"a[i] >2")
print("Bar")
test1([0,1,2,3],[1,2,3,4])
Resulting in
Foo
Foo
Bar
Foo
Foo
Bar
Foo
Bar
Foo
Foo
Foo
Foo
Thanks for your help
Regards,
Manuel
