Return Statement:
In Python, the return statement is used to exit a function and return a value to the caller. Here’s a simple example:
def add_numbers(num1, num2):
sum = num1 + num2
return sum
In this example, the add_numbers function takes two arguments num1 and num2 and returns their sum. The return statement is used to return the value of sum to the caller.
If a function doesn’t have a return statement, it will still return a value, but the value will be None. Here’s an example:
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
result = greet("Alice")
print(result) # Output: None
In this example, the greet function takes a name argument and prints a greeting message to the console. Since the function doesn’t have a return statement, it returns None. When we call the greet function and store the result in the result variable, the value of result is None.
