sorry. there was a copy paste error when i posted. I pasted test_2.py for both
the files:
here are the files again. The issue remains.
test_2.py:
x = 10
y = 20
c = x-y
print c
def func1():
return x+y
test_2_test.py:
import test_2
x = test_2.func1()
print x
output:
%run "D:/Projects/Initiatives/machine learning/programs/test_2_test.py"
30
