Answer 1

You need to define this in a function and call that function for the return value. Something like this -

x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]
def find_element():
for element in x:
     return element
a = find_element()
print (a)

Answer 2

A return statement is used to end the execution of the function call:

x = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0]
def fun():
    for element in x:
         return element

You can also return multiple values from a function.

    return a,b,c
