Keep getting None value after calling string from list chosen by using random

Question

So Im making game Rock,paper,Scissors and my problem is I keep getting None value after calling variable that contains randomly chosen string from list ''tools''.

import random

tools =["Rock","Scissors","Paper"]
def computer_predicion():
    computer_pred = random.choice(tools)
print(computer_predicion())

there is no return statement in the function – mightyandweakcoder Feb 25 '21 at 16:07 — mightyandweakcoder, Feb 25 '21 at 16:07
```return computer_pred``` is what you're looking for – mightyandweakcoder Feb 25 '21 at 16:08 — mightyandweakcoder, Feb 25 '21 at 16:08
Next error return outside function – Ivo Sorokins Feb 25 '21 at 16:11 — Ivo Sorokins, Feb 25 '21 at 16:11

You are missing your return statement in the function. When there is no return value specified, it will return None which is what you're seeing on your console when you print it to console. The return statement has to be inside the function.

import random

tools =["Rock","Scissors","Paper"]
def computer_predicion():
    computer_pred = random.choice(tools)
    return computer_pred
print(computer_predicion())
