Question

#Using print instead of return , gives output none in last line.
def add_numbers(x, y):
total = x + y
return total
print("This won't be printed")

print(add_numbers(4, 5))

Answer 1

If you want return value, you may think using that,
print (add_numbers (4, 5))
Otherwise, if you will print something inside function, do that,
add_numbers(4, 5)
Every function in python returns something whether it be a value or None.

Answer 2

The line with „this wont be printed“ wont be prinzed, because after the return statement the function ends....
