Hi, I am having three functions and the data inputs to only one of them. Lets say i have a function A having two parameters a and b. The sum operation is going inside. def sum(a, b), do: a + b Then in the second function, I want to add ten to the result of sum(a, b). So i can simply do like def…

Are you looking for this one? Functions · Elixir School

Actually no, I am looking for something where I can use the output of a function and also use it in some other function without specifying the arguments.

That sounds like OOP. Elixir doesn’t have objects. Functions act on their parameters (besides side-effects).

yeah, you are right … is there any approach that I can follow to get what I want … do you think function arity can be my friend

I still don’t really understand what you’re after, so I can’t really give suggestions for alternatives.

I want to use the output of a function A in let says function B. Sometimes we don’t have those parameters in function B, then how can we use the function A output in function B. There is one way we can call function B in Function A, like this def A(a, b, c) do a+ b + c |> B() end But I don’t wa…

I want to use the output of a function A in let says function B. Sometimes we don’t have those parameters in function B, then how can we use the function A output in function B. You can’t. If you need the output of function A you either need to call it and pass the output of it as an parameter to…

Hi, thanks for your feedback. def delta_link(tuple, count) do # [{tuple, count}] linkv(tuple, count) end def linkv(tuple, count) do try do :ets.new(:linkv, [:named_table, :duplicate_bag]) rescue ArgumentError -> :ok end :ets.insert(:linkv, [{tuple, count}…

Hello, I can’t understand your question. Why can’t you just call add(sum(a, b), 10) where you need the result? By the way, the following code: a + b |> add() is actually a + add(b). If you really want to use pipes you need to write: (a + b) |> add()
