[Challenge] for runAways: Output the return but no output of function itself

Question

There was a post related to python:
Given a function with output(print) and return.
Show the return w.o outputting the print.

Example

def challenge():
print("dont print this")
return("only print this")

print(challenge()
)

should output
only print this.
Transfer it to your language as you use a method instead of.

Answer 6

It turns out that I was blinded by trying to get ctypes to work. This is all that's required:

def fn(print=tuple):
print("nothing")
return("something")

print(fn())

Answer 9

Jokes aside, thanks for the challenge. This can actually be practical at toggling debug mode for a small project, for instance.

Answer 10

Many solutions try to manipulate the function.
But regard the function as totally normal.
The idea should work for ANY function that prints and returns.
