Easy function but result only with a print?

Question

I'm learning functions and I don't understand why I have this: we are taught to use "return" instead of "print" to be able to use the function in several cases.

Except that in the basic functions below, the return doesn't show any result, but if I replace the return by a "print", I get the result.

How to display the result of the return without a print? I can't find a solution


def el_divisor(number_1, number_2):
  return (number_1 / number_2)

el_divisor(5, 2)


def el_additionator(number_1, number_2):
  return (number_1 + number_2)

el_additionator(5,  2)


def substraction(nb, nb_to_substract):
  return (nb - nb_to_substract)

substraction(5, 2)

`print(substraction(5, 2))` ... since you return it ... you need to print what is returned ... — Joran Beasley, Sep 30 '22 at 06:30
Use print() when you are calling the function like, print(subtraction(5,2)), print(e1_divisor(5,2)), etc — Mujtaba Mateen, Sep 30 '22 at 06:31
Please look into this [Return vs Print](https://www.codecademy.com/forum_questions/518ffbfeb3f05c44fe001395) — de_classified, Sep 30 '22 at 06:48

Kindly do like below.

def el_divisor(number_1, number_2):
  return (number_1 / number_2)

print(el_divisor(5, 2))


def el_additionator(number_1, number_2):
  return (number_1 + number_2)

print(el_additionator(5,  2))


def substraction(nb, nb_to_substract):
  return (nb - nb_to_substract)

print(substraction(5, 2))
