如何在同一个 function 中使用 function 的值

Question

I am trying to create a loop that will randomly generate numbers until reaching some condition (eg > 16). How do I use a value, obtained using a function I created, within that same function? The only options I can think of are using 'return' and 'print' but they don't seem to work.

Here's an example of what I've come up with so far:

>>> def y():
...     x = random.randint(1,24)
...     print(x)                  (I've also tried 'return x' at this line)
...     while int(x) < 16:
...             return x

Answer 1

Use a generator:

def y():
    while True:
        x = random.randint(1, 24)
        if x >= 16:
            return
        yield x

for i in y():
    print(i)

# Output:
1
14
10
