为什么这个python闭包不起作用?

尝试使用evaluate_poly(poly,x_n)和compute_deriv2(poly,x_n)来运行函数compute_root(poly,x_n,epsilon)

代码运行,不会抛出任何错误,但不会返回任何内容。 这是代码

这是我使用的输入。

>>>>compute_root((-13.39,0.0,17.5,3.0,1.0),0.1,0.0001)

当我自己调用它们时,除了compute_root之外,所有单独的函数都有效。知道如何关闭它以使其工作吗?我是否必须在compute_root函数内再次定义它们?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

compute_root

中没有返回
    e = evaluate_poly(poly,x_n)
    c = compute_deriv2(poly,x_n)
    newList=list(poly)
    return e, c # or whatever you want

答案 1 :(得分:0)

是的,没有引发任何错误,但您没有在compute_root内返回任何内容。这意味着这些函数的返回值:

evaluate_poly(poly,x_n)
compute_deriv2(poly,x_n)

完全被忽略了。此外,由于默认情况下不返回任何内容的函数返回None,请执行以下操作:

print compute_root(...)

将不可避免地打印None

要解决此问题,请在compute_root内添加一个返回您想要的返回语句。我不知道这究竟是什么,但一个例子可能是:

a = evaluate_poly(poly,x_n)
b = compute_deriv2(poly,x_n)
c = newList=list(poly)
return a, b, c
