could someone explain why the highest number this code outputs is 0

Question

def print_nums(x):
for i in range(x):
print(i)
return
print_nums(10)

Answer 1

Because you returned after printing the first value. So it will break the loop and you get 0 because first index of iteration is 0.

Answer 2

Yash return statement is return only single value after the function end so you need to call function again for next value. In your code after returning 0 function call end so didnt return other range number Just remove return statement.

def print_nums(x):
for i in range(x):
print(i)
print_nums(10)

Answer 3

thanks, i forgot about the return statement
