How to access the variable inside a button in a Streamlit frame work?

Question

I have three variables, days, date and name; days is a slider which takes only integer value, date is a date picker and name is a string variable.

There is a function called some_function() that takes these three variables and returns result as output. I am using Streamlit framework and I have defined a button called Submit, once the Submit button is clicked, the function is invoked and returns result.

My problem is that I can access the output of the function within the button but I need to access this output outside the button as well for further calculation.

Any help will be much appreciated.

days = st.slider("No of days", min_value=1, max_value=15, value=1)
date = st.date_input("Select a date: ")
today = datetime.today().date()
name = st.text_input("Enter the name of the country: ")

if st.button("Submit"):
    if date < today:
        st.error("Don't enter past date")
    else:
        result = some_function(name, days, date)
        st.write(result)

You can use it this way:

days = st.slider("No of days", min_value=1, max_value=15, value=1)
date = st.date_input("Select a date: ")
today = datetime.today().date()
name = st.text_input("Enter the name of the country: ")
result = ""

if st.button("Submit"):
    if date < today:
        st.error("Don't enter past date")
    else:
        result = some_function(name, days, date)
        st.write(result)
print(result)
