>>> >>>def sqr(x): return x*x ... >>>def cube(x): return x*x*x ... >>>sqr <function sqr at 0x402ba10c> >>>a = [sqr, cube] >>>a[0](2) >>>def compose(f, g): return f(g(x)) ... >>>compose(sqr, cube, 2) 64 >>> but i get: >>> compose(sqr, cube, 2) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#56>", line 1, in <module> compose(sqr, cube, 2) TypeError: compose() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given) this: >>> def compose(f, g, x): return f(g(x)) >>> compose(sqr, cube, 2) 64 works though . so just a mistake on his part? but it looks like he just copied his shell...has there been a change since 2004 inr egards to how you can pass functions as arguments to functions?? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
