Resolved: define a function in the other function

Hi Meenakshi!

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, in Python, you can define one function inside another function. This concept is known as nested functions or inner functions.

For instance, in this case that could be:
def m_by_3(x):
    def plus_five(y):
        return y + 5
    return plus_five(x) * 3

m_by_3(5)

Hope this helps.

Best,

Ivan
