In addition to evaluation of code blocks, org-babel allows them to
be parameterised (i.e. have arguments). Thus source code blocks
now have the status of *functions*.
now have the status of *functions*. Arguments to code blocks can
be used in both functional and scripting mode.
Inputs for fibonacci-seq
**** Simple example of using a source block as a function
First let's look at a very simple example. The following source
block defines an org-babel function that will square its input.
#+srcname: square(x)
#+begin_src python
x*x
#+end_src
In the org-mode file that looks like this:
: #+srcname: square(x)
: #+begin_src python
: x*x
: #+end_src
Now we use the source block:
: #+lob: square(x=6)
#+lob: square(x=6)
#+resname: square(x=6)
: 36
**** A more complex example: using an org-table as input
In this example we're going to define a function to compute a
Fibonacci sequence, and we're going to make it take its input
from a table in the org-mode buffer.
Here are the inputs for fibonacci-seq:
#+tblname: fibonacci-inputs
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
