Return vs print (in py)

So return can store only one value? I mean in for loop such as for i in range(5): result = i i+=1 print(result) Print will give you four numbers as looping result answers Why can we substitute “ return “ in the place of “ print “ This gives me syntax error

return doesn't store values,from my knowledge return statements are used in functions not loops like.. def man: return 5+5

'print()' is a function, which output its arguments to the console. 'return' is a keyword, used to return from a function with, or without a value. Examples: for i in range(10): print("i = ", i) # Output: 0..9 # Simple examples of return keyword # Return, if odd number is found even_ls = [2, 4, 5, 6, 8] def check_even_list(even_ls): for i in range(len(even_ls)): if (even_ls[i] % 2 != 0): print(":( The list is Wrong!") return print(":) The list is OK!") check_even_list(even_ls) # Output: :( The list is Wrong! # Returning value to the caller def get_sum(a, b): return a + b sum = get_sum(5, 10) print(sum)

#difference between print and return. return uses in functions. e.g= def h(a,b): return a+b function give some value using return if you use return in your function then you can do some more with it. e.g= print(h(5,3)*2) #output=16 here you can see we don't multiply with 2 in function but we can also do more stuff with it when you call a function,remember that in print() statement this is opposite.

print gives you an output anywhere while return returns any number of values from a function so that the returned value may be used later in the code. if you want to return all values of a loop you can make a list and .append(i), or if you wish to return a single item from a loop, use if statements to rule out wrong items in the iteration.
