Otherwise, you encounter an \u201cTypeError: \u2018function\u2019 object is not subscriptable\u201d error.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we talk about what this error means. We walk through two examples of this error so you can figure out how to solve it in your code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TypeError: \u2018function\u2019 object is not subscriptable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iterable objects such as lists and strings can be accessed using <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/python-substring\/\">indexing notation<\/a>. This lets you access an individual item, or range of items, from an iterable.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the following code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>grades = [&quot;A&quot;, &quot;A&quot;, &quot;B&quot;]\nprint(grades[0])<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The value at the index position 0 is A. Thus, our code returns \u201cA\u201d. This syntax does not work on a function. This is because a function is not an iterable object. Functions are only capable of returning an iterable object if they are called.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cTypeError: \u2018function\u2019 object is not subscriptable\u201d error occurs when you try to access a function as if it were an iterable object.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This error is common in two scenarios:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When you assign a function the same name as an iterable<\/li><li>When you try to access the values from a function as if the function were iterable<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s analyze both of these scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scenario #1: Function with Same Name as an Iterable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a program that prints out information about a student at a school. We start by defining a <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/python-add-to-dictionary\/\">dictionary<\/a> with information on a student and their latest test score:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>student = { &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Holly&quot;, &quot;latest_test_score&quot;: &quot;B&quot;, &quot;class&quot;: &quot;Sixth Grade&quot; }<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our dictionary contains three keys and three values. One key represents the name of a student; one key represents the score a student earned on their latest test; one key represents the class a student is in.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we\u2019re going to define a function that prints out these values to the console:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>def student(pupil):\n\tprint(&quot;Name: &quot; + pupil[&quot;name&quot;])\n\tprint(&quot;Latest Test Score: &quot; + pupil[&quot;latest_test_score&quot;])\n\tprint(&quot;Class: &quot; + pupil[&quot;class&quot;])<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our code prints out the three values in the \u201cpupil\u201d dictionary to the console. The \u201cpupil\u201d dictionary is passed as an <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/python-args-kwargs\/\">argument<\/a> into the student() function.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s call our function and pass the \u201cstudent\u201d dictionary as a <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/python-args-kwargs\/\">parameter<\/a>:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>student(student)<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Python code throws an error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File &quot;main.py&quot;, line 8, in &lt;module&gt;\n\tstudent(student)\n  File &quot;main.py&quot;, line 4, in student\n\tprint(&quot;Name: &quot; + pupil[&quot;name&quot;])\nTypeError: 'function' object is not subscriptable<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This error is caused because we have a function and an iterable with the same name. \u201cstudent\u201d is first declared as a dictionary. We then define a function with the same name. This makes \u201cstudent\u201d a function rather than a dictionary.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we pass \u201cstudent\u201d as a parameter into the student() function, we are passing the function with the name \u201cstudent\u201d.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We solve this problem by renaming our student function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>def show_student_details(pupil):\n\tprint(&quot;Name: &quot; + pupil[&quot;name&quot;])\n\tprint(&quot;Latest Test Score: &quot; + pupil[&quot;latest_test_score&quot;])\n\tprint(&quot;Class: &quot; + pupil[&quot;class&quot;])\n\nshow_student_details(student)<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We have renamed our function to \u201cshow_student_details\u201d. Let\u2019s run our code and see what happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>Name: Holly\nLatest Test Score: B\nClass: Sixth Grade<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our code successfully prints out information about our student to the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scenario #2: Accessing a Function Using Indexing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Write a program that filters a list of student records and only shows the ones where a student has earned an A grade on their latest test.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll start by defining an <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/python-array\/\">array<\/a> of students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>students = [\n\t{ &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Holly&quot;, &quot;grade&quot;: &quot;B&quot; },\n\t{ &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Samantha&quot;, &quot;grade&quot;: &quot;A&quot; },\n\t{ &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Ian&quot;, &quot;grade&quot;: &quot;A&quot; }\n]<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our list of students contains three dictionaries. Each dictionary contains the name of a student and the grade they earned on their most recent test.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, define a function that returns a list of students who earned an A grade:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>def get_a_grade_students(pupils):\n\ta_grade_students = []\n\tfor p in pupils:\n    \t\tif p[&quot;grade&quot;] == &quot;A&quot;:\n        \t\t\ta_grade_students.append(p)\n\n\tprint(a_grade_students)\n\n\treturn a_grade_students<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The function accepts a list of students called \u201cpupils\u201d. Our function iterates over that list using a for loop. If a particular student has earned an \u201cA\u201d grade, their record is added to the \u201ca_grade_students\u201d list. Otherwise, nothing happens.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all students have been searched, our code prints a list of the students who earned an \u201cA\u201d grade and returns that list to the main program.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to retrieve the first student who earned an \u201cA\u201d grade. To do this, we call our function and use indexing syntax to retrieve the first student\u2019s record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>first = get_a_grade_students[0]\n\nprint(first)<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Run our code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File &quot;main.py&quot;, line 16, in &lt;module&gt;\n\tfirst = get_a_grade_students[0]\nTypeError: 'function' object is not subscriptable<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our code returns an error. We\u2019re trying to access a value from the \u201cget_a_grade_students\u201d function without first calling the function.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this problem, we should call our function before we try to retrieve values from it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>a_grades = get_a_grade_students(students)\nfirst = a_grades[0]\n\nprint(first)<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we call our <code>get_a_grade_students()<\/code> function and specify our list of students as a parameter. Next, we use indexing to retrieve the record at the index position 0 from the list that the <code>get_a_grade_students()<\/code> function returns. Finally, we print that record to the console.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s execute our code:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>[{'name': 'Samantha', 'grade': 'A'}, {'name': 'Ian', 'grade': 'A'}]\n{'name': 'Samantha', 'grade': 'A'}<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our code first prints out a list of all students who earned an \u201cA\u201d grade. Next, our code prints out the first student in the list who earned an \u201cA\u201d grade. That student was Samantha in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cTypeError: \u2018function\u2019 object is not subscriptable\u201d error is raised when you try to access an item from a function as if the function were an iterable object, like a string or a list.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this error, first make sure that you do not override any variables that store values by declaring a function after you declare the variable. Next, make sure that you call a function first before you try to access the values it returns.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you\u2019re ready to solve this common Python error like a <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/how-to-code-in-python\/\">professional coder<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unlike iterable objects, you cannot access a value from a function using indexing syntax.
