Function calling another function

[Satish Chimakurthi]

Hi all,

My question is surely a basic one, but somehow, I am not able to figure it out.

I have a python file "satish.py" as follows:


*satish.py*
def main():
y()
x()


def y():
..
..

def x():
...
..
y()

main()


When I execute satish.py, main() executes. I was expecting y() to execute first and then x() and then y() again. I wanted function x() to be capable of calling function y(). With this form of code, seems like function x() is not recognising function y(). Is there any sort of import or anything else that I can do here ??



Thanks in advance for your help

Regards,
Satish

Works for me:

def main():
y()
x()


def y():
print "y"

def x():
print "x"
y()

main()

gives me:


x
y
x

As expected.

Hi all,

Thanks a lot and sorry. It was an indentation mistake. Caused havoc for 30
mins for me.


Thanks again
