Parenthesis

Question

Why in the quiz at return statement there are no parentheses: return y; whereas in the previous sample code there is: return(y); Which one is right? Or both are allowed?

Answer 1

Is this about Python?

return is not a function but a keyword, you don't need parentheses there.

Values separated by comma will be read as a tuple - where you normally have the option not to write (), like: a = 1, 2 or a = (1, 2) which both work.

Answer 2

Hi, no it is about C. Sorry that I didn't mentioned.

Answer 3

In C you also need no parentheses (you can return only one value anyway).

Answer 4

Ok, thank you for your answers.
