I have an assignment where i have to create a couple of functions and then use the timeit module to see which one is faster. The functions work very well on their own but when i use the timeit module it keeps giving me the NameError. I know there are a lot of ways to time your function but i am supposed to use "timeit". I am also supposed to use timeit inside the main function and time this at least a 100 times(which is why i made that for loop)
This is what my code looks like:
from timeit import timeit
def function1(w1):
lowercase = ""
for x in w1:
if x.isalpha():
lowercase += x.lower()
return lowercase
if __name__ is "__main__":
w1 = "houseE134"
for x in range(1, 100):
print(x)
print(timeit("function1(%s)" % w1 , "from __main__ import function1", number=100))
unfortunately i keep getting this error no matter what i try:
NameError: name 'w1' is not defined
Does anyone know how to fix this?
