The following simple DASH callback has no effect:
#app.callback(
Output(component_id='Energy slider',component_property='value'),
[Input(component_id='Angular Momentum Slider',component_property='value')]
)
def update_energy_slider(NewEnergySV):
Vmin = -((k**2)*μ)/((2*(NewEnergySV*(10**33))**2))
return max(Vmin,((e**2)-1)*μ*(k**2)/(2*((NewEnergySV*(10**33))**2)))/(10**33)
However, if I replace the formula in the return statement with its actual literal value - i.e.
return -2.65
...it works fine.
Any ideas anyone?

When I create a function in Julia, I print something in the function and don't return anything. But the result is the function print what I want and also return 'nothing'. What can I do to make the function just print what I want without return 'nothing'?
There is always a return value from a function. When there is no explicit return statement, the value of the last expression in the function is returned. This is probably what you're seeing here: if the print statement is the last line of your function, since print's return value is nothing, that becomes the return value of your function too.
If you just don't want the nothing shown at the end of the output,then please paste the code you're using that leads to this behaviour, and we can figure out how to suppress this output of nothing from appearing.
Some additional comment to the answer by #sundar.
In other words nothing is the value meaning that the function did not return anything. Consider this Julia session:
julia> function f()
end
f (generic function with 1 method)
julia> res = f()
julia> dump(res)
Nothing nothing
By default nothing is displayed as an empty output:
julia> res
This however changes when res ends up interpolated in another string:
julia> "$res"
"nothing"
For cases like above consider using something such as:
julia> "$(something(res,""))"
""
I am currently learning on an online learning platform, and my code has to pass the test cases(included below)
Heres the question:
Write a higher-order function exception_function which will return a function with exceptions. exception_function should take in a function f(x), an integer input, and an integer output, and return another function g(x). The output of g(x) should be the same as f(x), except that when x is the same as the integer input, the output will be returned.
For example, given that we have a function sqrt which returns the square root of the argument. Using new_sqrt = exception_function(sqrt, 7, 2) we obtain new_sqrt, which behaves similarly to sqrt except for new_sqrt(7), where the value of 2 will be returned.
Below is the answer template
from math import *
def exception_function(f, rejected_input, new_output):
"""Your code here"""
pass
#################
#DO NOT REMOVE#
#################
new_sqrt = exception_function(sqrt, 7, 2)
Test Cases:
new_sqrt(9) -expected answer 3
new_sqrt(7) -expected answer 2
Here is what im not sure about.
How to control what f will return without changing f itself?
Thank you very much for your time.
Managed to solve it!
def exception_function(f, rejected_input, new_output):
def inner_function(x):
if x==rejected_input:
return new_output
else:
return f(x)
return inner_function
new_sqrt = exception_function(sqrt, 7, 2)
I am reading the Python Cookbook 3rd Edition and came across the topic discussed in 2.6 "Searching and Replacing Case-Insensitive Text," where the authors discuss a nested function that is like below:
def matchcase(word):
def replace(m):
text = m.group()
if text.isupper():
return word.upper()
elif text.islower():
return word.lower()
elif text[0].isupper():
return word.capitalize()
else:
return word
return replace
If I have some text like below:
text = 'UPPER PYTHON, lower python, Mixed Python'
and I print the value of 'text' before and after, the substitution happens correctly:
x = matchcase('snake')
print("Original Text:",text)
print("After regsub:", re.sub('python', matchcase('snake'), text, flags=re.IGNORECASE))
The last "print" command shows that the substitution correctly happens but I am not sure how this nested function "gets" the:
PYTHON, python, Python
as the word that needs to be substituted with:
SNAKE, snake, Snake
How does the inner function replace get its value 'm'?
When matchcase('snake') is called, word takes the value 'snake'.
Not clear on what the value of 'm' is.
Can any one help me understand this clearly, in this case?
Thanks.
When you pass a function as the second argument to re.sub, according to the documentation:
it is called for every non-overlapping occurrence of pattern. The function takes a single match object argument, and returns the replacement string.
The matchcase() function itself returns the replace() function, so when you do this:
re.sub('python', matchcase('snake'), text, flags=re.IGNORECASE)
what happens is that matchcase('snake') returns replace, and then every non-overlapping occurrence of the pattern 'python' as a match object is passed to the replace function as the m argument. If this is confusing to you, don't worry; it is just generally confusing.
Here is an interactive session with a much simpler nested function that should make things clearer:
In [1]: def foo(outer_arg):
...: def bar(inner_arg):
...: print(outer_arg + inner_arg)
...: return bar
...:
In [2]: f = foo('hello')
In [3]: f('world')
helloworld
So f = foo('hello') is assigning a function that looks like the one below to a variable f:
def bar(inner_arg):
print('hello' + inner_arg)
f can then be called like this f('world'), which is like calling bar('world'). I hope that makes things clearer.
I am making a terminal emulator in Python 3. The commands are being stored in functions, like:
def rd(os_vartmp, os_vartmp2):
if os_vartmp == None:
print('rd [path] [-S]')
print('Delete a folder')
else:
if os.path.isfile(os_vartmp) == True:
if os_vartmp2 == '-S': print('a')
else:
print(ERR5)
a = input('Command: ')
The terminal works like this:
Asks user for input
Splits the input
Uses the first part of input to search a function in locals
If there is one, uses the rest part of input as argument
Calls the function
The thing here is, when i call the function 'rd' with, for example, 'rd "boot.py" -S' it works just fine. But if i need to call it like this: rd "boot.py", it throws me a error about 1 argument given when 2 are required. Is there a fix for that?
You can make an argument optional by assigning a value in the method definition. For example:
def Add(x=0, y=0):
return x+y
If you input only one value, y will default to 0. If I wanted to give y a value but have x fall back on it's default value I could do Add(y=10). I hope this helped!
Have you tried this?
def rd(os_vartmp, os_vartmp2="-S"):
Instead of trying to get null value, which would require rd("boot.py",null), you can ser default value and then you can do rd("boot.py").
Hope it works.
The use of the command "return" has always been bothering me since I started learning Python about a month ago(completely no programming background)
The function "double()" seems working fine without me have to reassign the value of the list used as an argument for the function and the value of the elements processed by the function would double as planned. Without the need to assign it outside the function.
However, the function "only_upper()" would require me to assign the list passed as argument through the function in order to see the effect of the function. I have to specify t=only_upper(t) outside of the function to see the effect.
So my question is this: Why are these two seemingly same function produces different result from the use of return?
Please explain in terms as plain as possible due to my inadequate programming skill. Thank you for your input.
def double(x):
for i in range(len(x)):
x[i] = int(x[i])*2
return x
x = [1, 2, 3]
print double(x)
def only_upper(t):
res = []
for s in t:
if s.isupper():
res.append(s)
t = res
return t
t = ['a', 'B', 'C']
t = only_upper(t)
print t
i am assuming that this is your first programming language hence the problem with understanding the return statement found in the functions.
The return in our functions is a means for us to literally return the values we want from that given 'formula' AKA function. For example,
def calculate(x,y):
multiply = x * y
return multiply
print calculate(5,5)
the function calculate defines the steps to be executed in a chunk. Then you ask yourself what values do you want to get from that chunk of steps. In my example, my function is to calculate the multiplied value from 2 values, hence returning the multiplied value. This can be shorten to the following
def calculate(x,y):
return x * y
print calculate(5,5)
