Newbe question on passing variable data between functions

[JackL]

I am new to Python, and even newer to Pyqt5. I am trying to pass variable data from two of my defined functions to a third. I have attached the python I am working on. Is there a way to have data from the "def active(self):" and "def radeccalc(self):" functions available to the "def tracking(self):" function. I have tried what I think are the normal ways and they do not work.

Function declaration:

def samFunction(self,value):
        print("This is sample function call ",value)

Function calling:

self.samFunction(10)

I have PyQt5 installed in my machine.
