Defining multiple functions in the same def process

[sparkt]

map takes a function as its first argument and applies it to each item of the iterable passed as its second argument. In the two examples, I pass in two different functions: one that doubles the argument that I use with the list of ints and one that turns its argument to uppercase, which I use with the list of strings.

Thanks, it's useful to recall this as I will do a lot of list calculation. I'll see how that can simplify my clumsy codes but currently it would be great if I have a way to define multiple functions within the same def process.

I'm not quite sure what you are after but maybe your better of with a class ?

Seems to be more like a programmer's work but I would still need to assign something to an output each time before getting the ratio and index. I will use the function a lot so it would add up the work. Besides that also means I cannot maintain the structure of line 5 of a higher function I showed earlier, since the ratio still cannot be just called up as a function.

def maxexternalratio(a, b, yr):
    Etemp = []
    for i in range(len(a)):
        for j in range(len(a)):
             Etemp.append(external(a, b, a[i], b[j], yr)['ratio'])
    return max(Etemp)

If so I think I'd rather define two functions separately with nearly identical codes although that would be clumsy and obviously amateur.
