Execute a String of Code in Python

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/execute-string-code-python/

Given few lines of code inside a string variable and execute the code inside the string.

Examples:

Input:
code = """ a = 6+5
           print(a)"""
Output:
11
Explanation:
Mind it that "code" is a variable and
not python code. It contains another code, 
which we need to execute.

Input:
code = """ def factorial(num):
               for i in range(1,num+1):
                   fact = fact*i
               return fact
           print(factorial(5))"""
Output:
120
Explanation:
On executing the program cantoning the 
variable in Python we must get the result 
after executing the content of the variable.

Here we use the exec() function to solve the code contained inside a variable. exec() function is used for the dynamic execution of Python code. It can take a block of code containing Python statements like loops, class, function/method definitions and even try/except block. This function doesn’t return anything. The code below solves the problem and explains the exec() function.

# Python program to illustrate use of exec to

# execute a given code as string.

  

# function illustrating how exec() functions.

def exec_code():

    LOC = """

def factorial(num):

    fact=1

    for i in range(1,num+1):

        fact = fact*i

    return fact

print(factorial(5))

"""

    exec(LOC)

      

# Driver Code

exec_code()

Output:

120
