I have a question regarding the process of returning the wrapper in this code snippet. Why is it necessary to return the wrapper and where exactly is it being returned to? I understand that when I return the wrapper, it returns a pointer, but I'm confused about the purpose and location of this return action. Shouldn't I simply call it within the deco function like this: def deco(fun): ......... wrapper().
import time
def deco(fun) :
def wrapper(*args) :
start_time = time.time()
result = fun(*args)
end_time = time.time()
print(f"{end_time - start_time} seconds elapsed")
return result
return wrapper
@deco
def average (list):
total = 0
for number in list:
total += number
return total
numbers_list = list(range(0,10))
result = average(numbers_list)
print(result)
