Hi Peter and Other Kind Contributors of the Group,

I got lot of insights from the discussion in the group. Though I did
not get the exact answer but from Peter's link I could work them out.
Thank you, Peter, for kindly referring me the link. I like to thank
others of the group also for kindly spending their valuable time. I
wanted to define one function and call the value of that function to
be used by another function. If I misquoted the problem, I am sorry.

Wishing You all a Great Day Ahead,
Best Regards,
Subhabrata.
