Homework Statement
Hi there,
I just have a quick one here..
Is there a way to bring the NAME of a function? Not execute it?
Like if I had
def apple():
return
Can I get it to print "apple" somehow?
Thanks
Retrieving a function name in Python allows you to access and manipulate the function as an object, which can be useful for various tasks such as debugging, logging, or creating decorators.
You can use the built-in function __name__ to retrieve the name of a function without executing it. This function returns a string containing the name of the function.
Yes, you can use the __name__ function from within the function to retrieve its name. This can be useful for creating self-referencing functions or for debugging purposes.
Yes, you can retrieve the name of a function from an imported module by accessing the attribute __name__, which contains the name of the function as a string.
Yes, since the function name is returned as a string, you can use it as a variable in your code. However, it is not recommended to use the function name as a variable as it may cause confusion and make your code less readable.
