Python parameters code example

Example 1: pass argument to a py file

import sys

def hello(a,b):
    print "hello and that's your sum:", a + b

if __name__ == "__main__":
    a = int(sys.argv[1])
    b = int(sys.argv[2])
    hello(a, b)
# If you type : py main.py 1 5
# It should give you "hello and that's your sum:6"

Example 2: python read arguments

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

print('Number of arguments:', len(sys.argv), 'arguments.')
print('Argument List:', str(sys.argv))

Example 3: read argument from terminal

#!/usr/bin/python

import sys

print 'Number of arguments:', len(sys.argv), 'arguments.'
print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)

#Terminal
# $ python test.py arg1 arg2 arg3

#print
#Number of arguments: 4 arguments.
#Argument List: ['test.py', 'arg1', 'arg2', 'arg3']

Example 4: python arguments

import sys

print ("the script has the name %s" % (sys.argv[0])

Example 5: how to make a function in python

def test_function(argument1,argument2,argument3) :
  # Do something with the code, and the arguments.
  print(argument1)
  print(argument2)
  print(argument3)
  
# Calling the function.

test_function('Hello','World','!')

# Output
'''
Hello
World
!
'''

Example 6: how to add a function in python

#How to add a function in python

#Function
def new_function(): #Tells python to define a function
  print("Hello World!") #Here is where we put what the function should do
  
#Calling a function
new_function()
#Calling a function allows us to use the function at a specific time in our code
