how do you use return() in python

Question

Can somebody please teach me how to do return? I am doing a course and I just don't understand what return is for and how to use it :(

As you're in a class, I suggest you talk to your teacher or a tutor; the *really* basic elements of programming can't be taught a StackOverflow question at a time. — ShadowRanger, Jul 01 '22 at 14:51

return is used when defining function so it returns the result of this function.

example:

def test():
   return(1)

it returns 1

def test2(a,b):
    return(a+b)

it returns the sum of the two values

None of them should have parentheses involved though. – ShadowRanger Jul 01 '22 at 14:51

A return statement is used to end the execution of the function call and “returns” the result. The statements after the return statement are not executed

For example:

def cube(x):
   r = x**3
   return r
