Reuse of Python functions

Question

I am a beginner in programming and I have the following situation:

• I have a class called TEST. Within this class has the function RANDOM.

• I have a second class called CHECK. Inside this class has the CHECK function.

• I want the output of the TEST.RANDOM function to be used in the CHECK function.CHECK.

• In the code below every time I run the function CHECK.VERIFIES it calls again the function TEST.RANDOM, which ends up bringing me a new value.

• How do I REUSE the output of the TEST.RANDOM function?

=========

import random

class teste():
    def __init__(self, x = 0):
        self.x = x

def aleatorio(self):
    a = random.randint(0,100)
    return a

class verificar():
    def __init__(self, y = 0):
        self.y = y

    def verifica(self):
        b = teste().aleatorio()
        return b

print (teste().aleatorio())
print (verificar().verifica())

==========

In advance, I thank everyone who is willing to help.

Answer 1

Do the following:

import random

class teste():
    def __init__(self, x = 0):
        self.x = x
        self.aleatorio()

    def aleatorio(self):
        self.a = random.randint(0,100)
        return self.a

class verificar():
    def __init__(self, y = 0):
        self.y = y

    def verifica(self):
        b = teste()
        return b.a

If you need to call aleatorio() again, you can do the following:

class verificar():
    def __init__(self, y = 0):
        self.y = y
        self.teste = teste()

    def verifica(self, chamar_de_novo = False):
        if (chamar_de_novo):
            self.teste.aleatorio()
        return self.teste.a

Note that here:

print (verificar().verifica())

You’re using an object verifica different from here:

print (teste().aleatorio())

That’s why the value doesn’t hold. You can do, for example, verificar receive an object teste to at least keep the random number generated:

v = verificar()
teste = teste()
teste.aleatorio()
v.teste = teste
