Passing print output into another print statement

[Pleiades]

Hi, I'm trying to pass the output of a print(result) statement into a ( for i in anagrams("")) to another print statement and then run the code. So that print(i) automatically uses the word [do] from the(result). I'm trying to generate anagrams from Morse code. At the moment the code below needs me to manually insert the word (do). Is this even possible to automate with the code I have? Print statements are at bottom of code.

Thanks for your help

VARIABLE KEY 
'cipher' -> 'stores the morse translated form of the english string' 
'decipher' -> 'stores the english translated form of the morse string' 
'citext' -> 'stores morse code of a single character' 
'i' -> 'keeps count of the spaces between morse characters' 
'message' -> 'stores the string to be encoded or decoded'

print does not return the value that it outputs to the screen (it returns None). So, in the functions where you're printing, just return the value you want to use instead and then pass those to print.

Can you please show an example. thanks

>>> def do_some_work():
...     x = 7
...     y = 5
...     z = 2 * x + y
...     return z  
... 
>>> def do_some_more_work(x):
...     return (x - 5.0) / 20
... 
>>> result = do_some_work()
>>> final_result = do_some_more_work(result)
>>> print(final_result)
0.7
>>> 

The functions do_some_work and do_some_more_work calculate some values. I could have called print in either one, but then the result of the calculation wouldn't be available to use in further computation. For example, if I'd called print in do_some_work instead of returning the value, result would be None and the subsequent call to do_some_more_work wouldn't work.

I still cannot seem to get my print job to work, can anyone show me an example from my own code the correct way to print so that the anagrams print with out manually inserting the [word]. Thanks a bunch:)

Return result from main function, and use it in your loop, here is the code:

def main(): 
    message = "-.. ---"
    result = decrypt(message) 
    print (result)
    return result # return result
for i in anagrams(main()):
    print (i)

Thanks so much luoheng I was really struggling with this code. You are a great help and a nice person. Peace Man!
