How to use output variables from one button in another button?

Using Streamlit
1

In my streamlit project, I have two buttons Start and Stop .
Start button performs certain operation containing try-finally block which gives a result in variable final_res
& Stop button should display this final_res but isn’t detecting the variable since its in another if statement. How do I tackle this?
example pseudo code

if start:
    try:
        performs operation
        final_res generated
   finally:
        final_res

if stop:
   st.write(final_res)

Hi,

Please refer to these questions which I answered. They explain how buttons behave and how you can use session state to hold values from widget interactions.

I’m still finding it difficult, Could you please specify where and how do I initialise the session state and set it to True even after pressing the other button to return the result?

Save the results of a button click to a csv in S3

Something like this should work:

if 'result' not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state.result = None

if start:
    try:
        # performs operation
        # final_res generated
    finally:
        st.session_state.result = final_res

if stop:
   st.write(st.session_state.result)
