How do I make my var "w" work?

Question

from random import randint

x = randint(0,99)

def my_fun():
if x = 5
w = 2
return w
elif x > 5:
w = 1
return w
else:
w = 3
return w

def my_func():
my_fun()
print(w)

Could someone please tell me, how i can make this work?

Answer 1

my_fun() returns a variable (because it has "return" statements). So you should assign a value to the calling statement:
myvar = my_fun()
Then you only have to print(myvar).

Please bear in mind that the w inside my_fun has nothing to do with the w inside my_func. Naming these two variables both as w will just confuse you.

Oh, and by the way, you missed a : after the first if.

Thanks for your help, problem is solved:

from random import randint

x = randint(0,99)

def my_fun():
if x == 5:
w = 2
return w
elif x > 5:
w = 1
return w
else:
w = 3
return w

def my_func():
w = my_fun()
print(w)

Always remember:
= != == and w needed to be assigned thx
