Passing a function to another function

[yulfmd1802]

How do you pass a certain value from a function to another function? Previously I know how to pass a value from a function to the main() function. Attempting to pass the value with the code attached below the following error message produces the errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/fadhil/Downloads/get_passenger.py", line 25, in <module>
main()
File "/Users/fadhil/Downloads/get_passenger.py", line 6, in main
get_ticket()
File "/Users/fadhil/Downloads/get_passenger.py", line 12, in get_ticket
ticket = get_passenger(username)
NameError: name 'username' is not defined

Any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks for the advance!

def main():
    print("Welcome to the Tropical Airlines Ticket Ordering System")
    print("Log in to the system using your username. A password is not required.")
    username = input("Username: ")
    login(username)
    get_ticket()


def get_ticket():
    ticket = input("This is the ticket for: ")
    if ticket == "you":
        ticket = get_passenger(username)
    else:
        ticket = "For someone else"
    print(ticket)

def login(username):
    print("Welcome, " + username)
    return username

def get_passenger(username):
    passenger = print("Dear " + login(username))
    return passenger

main()

getticket() does not have access to username. You could pass username from main()

Try telling getticket() to accept username then give it username when you call it. You already do that with login(username).

def main():
    print("Welcome to the Tropical Airlines Ticket Ordering System")
    print("Log in to the system using your username. A password is not required.")
    username = input("Username: ")
    login(username)
    get_ticket(username)
 
 
def get_ticket(username):
    ticket = input("This is the ticket for: ")
    if ticket == "you":
        ticket = get_passenger(username)
    else:
        ticket = "For someone else"
    print(ticket)

Note that the title of the thread is misleading: you aren't passing a function to another function, you're passing the value returned by a function to another function. The two are different things!
