Return vs Print in Python

Question

How do i understand the difference between return and print statements in a python function?

Answer 1

Consider a function, add, it takes 2 parameter x and y.

def add(x,y)
return (x+y)

This function will RETURN x+y
Example if we use it,

a=add(5,4)

Here, x=5,y=4 and add will return 5+4 .Hence the value of a will be 9(BUT it will not be printed on screen unless you give print(a) command)

Answer 2

Got it!! Thanks

Answer 3

Answer 4

def add(x, y): colon is missing sir. we should include colon while defining a function.
