is return not working on sololearn?

Question

return doesn't work on sololearn? i was coding and my code was for testing if this app is good since i just started using sololearn, it was a simple code but it gave no output:

def age(s, a):
n=0
while s < a:
n = n+1
s += 1
return n
age(2004, 2022)
but it had no ouput...

Answer 1

Return is working but now you have value and you are not doing anything with this value
So use something to show output to console like print()

Answer 5

Lothar this is my code updated:
def age(s, a):
n=0
while s < a:
n = n+1
s += 1
return n
y = int(input())
Y = int(input())
age(y, Y)

this code gets how old are you compared to the year you are born untill the current year, i could also just do this:
def age(s, a):
return a - s
y = int(input())
Y = int(input())
age(y, Y)
but as i said, i am new here and i did this random code to test if sololearn was good or just a python file saver to later send it to your pc for example and use the code there..

Answer 6

PanicS but when i normally code on google collab, this code will return the value with return, and if i put print on while it will print all the values that had been writing in the data all along s < a... so here it's different then

Answer 7

i actually corrected my code later
