Call outside function with same name in a package

Question

I created a function as follows:
create or replace function f1 return number
is
begin
return 1;
end;
This f1 is to be called in a package created below.
Then I create a package with a function in it, as follows:
create or replace package pack1 as
function f1 return number;
end;
Now I define the package body as follows:
create or replace package body pack1 as
function f1 return number as
-- I am trying to call the first function f1 defined above here
How do I resolve the name issues here?
In other words, I want to call a function with the same signature outside a package.
Thanks for your kind help.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Do you have a good reason for using the same name?
Refer to the stand-alone function with the owner name, even though it's your current schema.
That is, even if the package and the stand-alone function are owned by scott, in the package, say
x := scott.f1;
