getpos() coding

Question

just wanted to know how to write the getpos() command which must return an (x,y) tuple of the current position.

does it start like this:

def getpos(x 100, y 100)

not sure need help

Answer 1

This is a bit underspecified, but this might work:

def getpos(self):
  return (self.x, self.y)

This is how to return a tuple, from values assumed to be instance variables.

Answer 2

In Python you can't force a return type on a function from its header. The return type can change from one call to another. When you write:

def getpos(x,y):

It means that the function receives 2 parameters, that inside the function are called x & y. No type is forced on them either. Just write the function so it returns the tuple, e.g.:

def getpos():
    x = 100
    y = 100
    return (x,y)

The syntax that you used (def getpos(x 100, y 100) ) does not have any meaning that I know.
