Function Maths

Question

Hello everyone

I hope all is well. I was wondering whether it is possible to simple mathematics with functions. so for example:

def Slope():
slope = (max(Log) - min(Log))/(max(Temperature) - min(Temperature))
print(slope)
Slope()
def Ea():
Ea = (Slope() * Gas_constant)/1000 #Divide it by thousand to get it into KJ mol-1
print(Ea)
Ea()

can I do Slope() * Gas_constant?
I have a feeling it is not possible and I think I know the reason why but maybe someone could prove me wrong.

Thanks everybody

Answer 1

yes.. instead of
def Slope():
slope = (max(Log) - min(Log))/(max(Temperature) - min(Temperature))
print(slope)

..do...
def Slope():
slope = (max(Log) - min(Log))/(max(Temperature) - min(Temperature))
print(slope)
return slope
