I am unclear on the behavior of using a function. Below is a short code
I wrote to print an amount out after inputting the number of match.
# TEST Function.py
def change(amount):
if match == 1:
amount = 0
if match == 2:
amount = 0
if match == 3:
amount = 3
match = raw_input("How many matches?: ")
change(match)
print amount
ERROR Message:
How many matches?: 2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ken/Python262/TEST Function.py", line 13, in <module>
print amount
NameError: name 'amount' is not defined
How do I print out the amount of 0 if I input 2?
Should it be def change(match) instead of def change(amount)?
Perhaps, change(amount) instead of change(match)?
Perhaps, I need to add return somewhere?
Thanking you all in advance for your assistance.
Ken
