Can I call several Python functions when an if statement is true?

Question

I am using Python 3.6.

I am trying to write some code that contains a number of if statements.

I would like to create an if statement, that when ‘true’, will call two (or more functions) but I am having trouble doing this…

For example:

if x == 1: function_1()

works as expected, but

if x == 1: function_1(), function_2()

does not work, I get an ‘object is not callable’ error for function_2.

If I try:

if x == 1: function_1()
   function_2()

I get an unexpected indent error… if I try:

if x == 1: function_1()
function_2()

Pycharm tells me that the function_2() statement has no effect and only function_1() is called.

I am left scratching my head on how this can be done as its seems logical to expect that I would be able to ‘do’ more than one thing at the end of an if statement.

What can I try next?

Answer 1

def function_1():
    print("function 1")


def function_2():
    print("function 2")


foo = True


if foo:
    function_1()
    function_2()

Answer 2

Python uses indentation level to organize blocks instead of using curly braces like C or Java.

if x == 1:
    function_1()
    function_2()

This will call both functions.
