In this article, we will explain nested/inner functions in Python and how they work with examples. Nested (or inner) functions are functions defined within other functions that allow us to directly access the variables and names defined in the enclosing function. Nested functions can be used to create closures and decorators, among other things. Defining an inner/nested Function Simply use the def keyword to initialize another function within a function to define a nested function. The following program is to demonstrate the inner function in Python − Example # creating an outer function def outerFunc(sample_text): sample_text ... Read More

Calling a JavaScript function directly from C++ depends on the environment and the system; for this, make sure you have embedded a JavaScript engine or integrated C++ with JavaScript. In this article, we will be using Emscripten (C++ to JavaScript in WebAssembly) to call a JavaScript function from C++. For this, you have to compile the C++ program to WebAssembly using Emscripten and then call JavaScript functions from C++. So, first, create the C++ file with the header . C++ File Let's consider that this file name is saved as main.cpp. #include // here declared an external JS ... Read More

If optional argument tz is None or not specified, this is like today(), but, if possible, supplies more precision than can be gotten from going through a time.time() timestamp (for example, this may be possible on platforms supplying the C gettimeofday() function).

Python date implementations support all the comparision operators. So, if you are using the datetime module to create and handle date objects, you can simply use the , =, etc. operators on the dates. This makes it very easy to compare and check dates for validations, etc.Examplefrom datetime import datetime from datetime import timedelta today = datetime.today() yesterday = today - timedelta(days=1) print(today < yesterday) print(today > yesterday) print(today == yesterday)OutputThis will give the output −False True False
