Python program to return function from another function

Here, we will write a Python program with a function that returns another function. By Shivang Yadav Last updated : January 05, 2024

Python allows programmers to return a function from another function like it allows function as an argument.

This is possible because python treats its functions as class objects.

Program to return a function from another function

# function - foo()
def foo():
    print("I am Foo")

# function - koo() returning foo
def koo():
    return foo

# calling the koo()
x=koo()
# calling function returned by koo()
x()

Output

The output of the above example is:

I am Foo

To understand the above program, you should have the basic knowledge of the following Python topics:

• Python print() Method
• Python Functions
• Python | Different ways to define and call user-defined functions
